Abstract
Meso-Tetrakis-(3,4,5-tris{2-[2-(2-methoxyethoxy)ethoxy]ethoxy}phenyl)porphyrin TEG12PH2 is reported as an 'omnisoluble' reference for singlet oxygen (1O2) generation quantum yield (ΦSO) estimation. TEG12PH2 is a highly soluble, nonionic compound possessing excellent 1O2 QY in a wide variety of common solvents, including water. TEG12PH2 was prepared on multigram scale by the 12-way O-alkylation of tetrakis(3,4,5-trihydroxyphenyl)porphyrin using 2-(2-(2-methoxyethoxy)ethoxy)ethyl 4-toluenesulfonate as a reaction solvent. The corresponding Zn(II) complex TEG12PZn was also prepared and studied. The 1O2 QYs of TEG12PH2 in the different solvents studied were found to be 0.86 (acetone), 0.59 (acetonitrile), 0.66 (chloroform), 0.85 (methanol), 0.45 (toluene) and 0.51 (water). TEG12PH2 can be considered a reliable and easy to implement omnisoluble reference compound for the estimation of the 1O2 generating activities of new materials, especially new porphyrinic compounds.

Abstract
There is an ongoing interest in 1 O2 sensitizers, whose activity is selectively controlled by their interaction with DNA. To this end, we synthesized three isomeric pyridinium alkynylanthracenes 2 o-p and a water-soluble trapping reagent for 1 O2 . In water and in the absence of DNA, these dyes show a poor efficiency to sensitize the photooxygenation of the trapping reagent as they decompose due to electron transfer processes. In contrast, in the presence of DNA 1 O2 is generated from the excited DNA-bound ligand. The interactions of 2 o-p with DNA were investigated by thermal DNA melting studies, UV/vis and fluorescence spectroscopy, and linear and circular dichroism spectroscopy. Our studies revealed an intercalative binding with an orientation of the long pyridyl-alkynyl axis parallel to the main axis of the DNA base pairs. In the presence of poly(dA : dT), all three isomers show an enhanced formation of singlet oxygen, as indicated by the reaction of the latter with the trapping reagent. With green light irradiation of isomer 2 o in poly(dA : dT), the conversion rate of the trapping reagent is enhanced by a factor >10. The formation of 1 O2 was confirmed by control experiments under anaerobic conditions, in deuterated solvents, or by addition of 1 O2 quenchers. When bound to poly(dG : dC), the opposite effect was observed only for isomers 2 o and 2 m, namely the trapping reagent reacted significantly slower. Overall, we showed that pyridinium alkynylanthracenes are very useful intercalators, that exhibit an enhanced photochemical 1 O2 generation in the DNA-bound state.

Abstract
Singlet oxygen (1O2) is the first electronic excited state of molecular oxygen. Due to its non-radical and non-ionic character as well as its mild reactivity, 1O2 has a pivotal role in cell signaling processes at low concentration, yet it is cytotoxic at high concentrations. Quantifying the production of 1O2, particularly in biological systems, is therefore essential for understanding and controlling its effects. 1O2 can be produced by chemical and biological reactions, yet its most common method of production is by photosensitization, whereby an initially photoexcited molecule transfers its acquired electronic energy to the dioxygen molecule. The efficiency of this process is characterized by the 1O2 production quantum yield, ΦΔ, which can be determined by directly monitoring its intrinsic weak near-infrared phosphorescence or indirectly by trapping it with a suitable acceptor, a process that can be monitored by common analytical techniques. Indirect methods are thus very popular, yet they may lead to severe errors if used incorrectly. Herein we describe the common aspects of indirect methods and propose a general step-by-step procedure for the determination of ΦΔ values. In addition, we identify the key experimental conditions that need to be controlled to obtain meaningful results.

Abstract
Recently, a new type of spin labels based on photoexcited triplet molecules was proposed for nanometer scale distance measurements by pulsed dipolar electron paramagnetic resonance (PD EPR). However, such molecules are also actively used within biological complexes as photosensitizers for photodynamic therapy (PDT) of cancer. Up to date, the idea of using the photoexcited triplets simultaneously as PDT agents and as spin labels for PD EPR has never been employed. In this work, we demonstrate that PD EPR in conjunction with other methods provides valuable information on the structure and function of PDT candidate complexes, exemplified here with porphyrins bound to human serum albumin (HSA). Two distinct porphyrins with different properties were used: amphiphilic meso-tetrakis(4-hydroxyphenyl)porphyrin (mTHPP) and water soluble cationic meso-tetrakis(N-methyl-4-pyridyl)porphyrin (TMPyP4); HSA was singly nitroxide-labeled to provide a second tag for PD EPR measurements. We found that TMPyP4 locates in a cavity at the center of the four-helix bundle of HSA subdomain IB, close to the interface with solvent, thus being readily accessible to oxygen. As a result, the photolysis of the complex leads to photooxidation of HSA by generated singlet oxygen and causes structural perturbation of the protein. Contrary, in case of mTHPP porphyrin, the binding occurs at the proton-rich pocket of HSA subdomain IIIA, where the access of oxygen to a photosensitizer is hindered. Structural data of PD EPR were supported by other EPR techniques, laser flash photolysis and protein photocleavage studies. Therefore, pulsed EPR on complexes of proteins with photoexcited triplets is a promising approach for gaining structural and functional insights into such PDT agents.

Abstract
Recently, the photoexcited triplet state of porphyrin was proposed as a promising spin-label for pulsed dipolar electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR). Herein, we report the factors that determine the electron spin echo dephasing of the photoexcited porphyrin in a water-glycerol matrix. The electron spin relaxation of a water-soluble porphyrin was measured by Q-band EPR, and the temperature dependence and the effect of solvent deuteration on the relaxation times were studied. The phase memory relaxation rate (1/Tm) is noticeably affected by solvent nuclei and is substantially faster in protonated solvents than in deuterated solvents. The Tm is as large as 13-17 μs in deuterated solvent, potentially expanding the range of distances available for measurement by dipole spectroscopy with photoexcited porphyrin. The 1/Tm depends linearly on the degree of solvent deuteration and can be used to probe the environment of a porphyrin in or near a biopolymer, including the solvent accessibility of porphyrins used in photodynamic therapy. We characterized the noncovalent binding of porphyrin to human serum albumin (HSA) from 1/Tm and electron spin echo envelope modulation (ESEEM) and found that porphyrin is quite exposed to solvent on the surface of HSA. The 1/Tm and ESEEM are equally effective and provide complementary methods to determine the solvent accessibility of a porphyrin bound to protein or to determine the location of the porphyrin.

Abstract
Nowadays, novel less-expensive nanoformulations for in situ-controlled and safe delivery of photosensitisers (PSs) against opportunistic pathogens in body-infections areas need to be developed. Antimicrobial photodynamic therapy (aPDT) is a promising approach to treat bacterial infections that are recalcitrant to antibiotics. In this paper, we propose the design and characterization of a novel nanophototherapeutic based on the trade cyclodextrin CAPTISOL® (sulfobutylether-beta-cyclodextrin, SBE-βCD) and 5,10,15,20-tetrakis(1-methylpyridinium-4-yl)porphine tetrakis(p-toluenesulfonate) (TMPyP) to fabricate efficient biocompatible systems for aPDT. Spherical nanoassemblies of about 360 nm based on CAPTISOL®/TMPyP supramolecular complexes with 1:1 stoichiometry and apparent equilibrium binding constant (Kb ≅ 1.32 × 105 M-1) were prepared with entrapment efficiency of ≅ 100% by simple mixing in aqueous media and freeze-drying. These systems have been characterized by complementary spectroscopy and microscopy techniques. Time resolved fluorescence pointed out the strong interaction of porphyrin monomer within nanoassemblies (τ2 ≅ 11 ns with an amount of ca 90%) and scarce self-aggregation of porphyrins have been observed. Singlet oxygen comparative determination (ϕΔ CAPTISOL®/TMPyP = 0.58) assessed their photodynamic potential. Release and photostability studies have been carried out under physiological conditions pointing out the role of CAPTISOL® to sustain porphyrin release for more than 2 weeks and to protect PS from photodegradation. Finally, photoantimicrobial activity of nanoassemblies vs free porphyrin have been investigated against Gram-negative P. aeruginosa, E. coli and Gram-positive S. aureus. The proposed nanosystems were able to photokill both Gram-positive and -negative bacterial cells similarly to TMPyP at MBC90 = 6 µM of TMPyP and at 42 J/cm2 light dose. However, with respect to the less selective free TMPyP in biological sites, nanoassemblies exhibit sustained release properties and a higher photostability thus optimizing the PDT effect at the site of action. These results can open routes for in vivo translational studies on nano(photo)drugs and nanotheranostics based on less expensive formulations of CD and PS.

Abstract
Recently, photosensitized oxidation has been explored in many fields of research and applications, such as photodynamic therapy (PDT) and photodynamic antimicrobial chemotherapy (PACT). Although the photosensitized generation of ROS features emerging applications, controllable management of the photosensitization process is still sometimes problematic. DNA has long been considered the carrier for genetic information. With the in-depth study of the chemical properties of DNA, the molecular function of DNA is gradually witnessed by the scientific community. Undoubtedly, the selective recognition nature of DNA endows them excellent candidate modulators for photosensitized oxidation. According to current research, reports on DNA regulation of photosensitized oxidation can be roughly divided into two categories in principle: P-Q quenching pair-switched photosensitization and host-guest interaction-switched photosensitization. In this review, the development status of these two analytical methods will be summarized, and the future development direction of DNA-modulated photosensitization in biosensing and environmental monitoring will also be prospected.

Abstract
Recognition of unusual left-handed Z-DNA by specific binding of small molecules is crucial for understanding biological functions in which this particular structure participates. Recent investigations indicate that zinc cationic porphyrin (ZnTMPyP4) is promising as a probe for recognizing Z-DNA due to its characteristic chiroptical properties upon binding with Z-DNA. However, binding mechanisms of the ZnTMPyP4/Z-DNA complex remain unclear. By employing time-resolved UV-visible absorption spectroscopy in conjunction with induced circular dichroism (ICD), UV-vis, and fluorescence measurements, we examined the binding interactions of ZnTMPyP4 towards B-DNA and Z-DNA. For the ZnTMPyP4/Z-DNA complex, two coexisting binding modes were identified as the electrostatic interaction between pyridyl groups and phosphate backbones, and the major groove binding by zinc(II) coordinating with the exposed guanine N7. The respective contribution of each mode is assessed, allowing a complete scenario of binding modes revealed for the ZnTMPyP4/Z-DNA. These interaction modes are quite different from those (intercalation and partial intercalation modes) for the ZnTMPyP4/B-DNA complex, thereby resulting in explicit differentiation between B-DNA and Z-DNA. Additionally, the binding interactions of planar TMPyP4 to DNA were also investigated as a comparison. It is shown that without available virtual orbitals to coordinate, TMPyP4 binds with Z-DNA solely in the intercalation mode, as with B-DNA, and the intercalation results in a structural transition from Z-DNA to B-ZNA. These results provide mechanistic insights for understanding ZnTMPyP4 as a probe of recognizing Z-DNA and afford a possible strategy for designing new porphyrin derivatives with available virtual orbitals for the discrimination of B-DNA and Z-DNA.

Abstract
Photodynamic inactivation (PDI) of bacteria may play a major role in facing the challenge of the ever expanding antibiotic resistances. Here we report about the direct correlation of singlet oxygen luminescence kinetics and phototoxicity in E. coli cell suspension under PDI using the widely applied cationic photosensitizer TMPyP. Through direct access to the microenvironment, the time resolved investigation of singlet oxygen luminescence plays a key role in understanding the photosensitization mechanism and inactivation pathway. Using the homemade set-up for highly sensitive time resolved singlet oxygen luminescence detection, we show that the cationic TMPyP is localized predominantly outside the bacterial cells but in their immediate vicinity prior to photodynamic inactivation. Throughout following light exposure, a clear change in singlet oxygen kinetics indicates a redistribution of photosensitizer molecules to at least one additional microenvironment. We found the signal kinetics mirrored in cell viability measurements of equally treated samples from same overnight cultures conducted in parallel: A significant drop in cell viability of the illuminated samples and stationary viability of dark controls. Thus, for the system investigated in this work - a Gram-negative model bacteria and a well-known PS for its PDI - singlet oxygen kinetics correlates with phototoxicity. This finding suggests that it is well possible to evaluate PDI efficiency directly via time resolved singlet oxygen detection.

Abstract
The ground- and excited-state interactions of Pt(ii) meso-tetrakis(4-N-methylpyridyl)porphyrin (PtTMPyP4) with polynucleotides [poly(dG-dC)]2 and [poly(dA-dT)]2 have been investigated using UV/visible, circular dichroism, and steady-state and time-resolved emission spectroscopy. PtTMPyP4 intercalates into [poly(dG-dC)]2 with K∼ 10(6) M(-1). When bound to [poly(dG-dC)]2 in aerated solution there is a six-fold emission enhancement with 18 nm red-shift in emission maximum. Emission lifetimes are biexponential. In the presence of [poly(dA-dT)]2 at least two distinct groove-binding modes are observed, depending on the binding ratio. In [poly(dA-dT)]2 the emission intensity increases by a maximum factor of 17 with no shift in the emission spectrum. Three exponentials were required for lifetime fitting. The lower extent of emission enhancement in the presence of [poly(dG-dC)]2 suggests that a slow electron transfer may take place to guanine, which is significantly less efficient than that previously observed for PtTMPyP4 in the presence of guanosine 5'-monophosphate (GMP). The results are compared to those previously recorded with free base H2TMPyP4.

Abstract
Photodynamic therapy that uses photosensitizers which only become toxic upon light-irradiation provides a strong alternative to conventional cancer treatment due to its ability to selectively target tumour material without affecting healthy tissue. Transition metal complexes are highly promising PDT agents due to intense visible light absorption, yet the majority are toxic even without light. This study introduces a small, photostable, charge-neutral platinum-based compound, Pt(II) 2,6-dipyrido-4-methyl-benzenechloride, complex 1, as a photosensitizer, which works under visible light. Activation of the new photosensitizer at low concentrations (0.1–1 μM) by comparatively low dose of 405 nm light (3.6 J cm−2) causes significant cell death of cervical, colorectal and bladder cancer cell lines, and, importantly, a cisplatin resistant cell line EJ-R. The photo-index of the complex is 8. We demonstrate that complex 1 induces irreversible DNA single strand breaks following irradiation, and that oxygen is essential for the photoinduced action. Neither light, nor compound alone led to cell death. The key advantages of the new drug include a remarkably fast accumulation time (diffusion-controlled, minutes), and photostability. This study demonstrates a highly promising new agent for photodynamic therapy, and attracts attention to photostable metal complexes as viable alternatives to conventional chemotherapeutics, such as cisplatin.

Abstract
Electron donor-connecting cationic porphyrins meso-(1-naphthyl)-tris(N-methyl-p-pyridinio)porphyrin (1-NapTMPyP) and meso-(2-naphthyl)-tris(N-methyl-p-pyridinio)porphyrin (2-NapTMPyP) were designed and synthesized. DFT calculations speculate that the photoexcited states of 1- and 2-NapTMPyPs can be deactivated via intramolecular electron transfer from the naphthyl moiety to the porphyrin moiety. However, the quenching effect through the intramolecular electron transfer is insufficient, possibly due to the orthogonal position of the electron donor and the porphyrin ring and the relatively small driving force: Gibbs energies are 0.11 and 0.07 eV for 1- and 2-NapTMPyPs, respectively. It was speculated that more than 0.3 eV of the driving force is required to realize effective electron transfer in similar electron-donor connecting porphyrin systems. These porphyrins aggregated around the DNA strand, accelerating the deactivation of their excited singlet state and decreasing their photosensitized singlet oxygen-generating activities. In the presence of a sufficiently large concentration of DNA, these porphyrins can bind to a DNA strand stably, leading to an increased fluorescence quantum yield and lifetime. Singlet oxygen generation was also suppressed by the aggregation of porphyrins around DNA. Although the quantum yield of singlet oxygen generation was recovered in the presence of sufficient DNA, the singlet oxygen generated by DNA-binding porphyrins was significantly smaller than that without DNA. These results suggest that DNA-binding drugs limit the generation of photosensitized singlet oxygen by quenching the DNA strand.

Abstract
Production of reactive oxygen species has been used in clinical therapy for cancer treatment in a technique known as Photodynamic Therapy (PDT). The success of this therapy depends on oxygen concentration since hypoxia limits the formation of reactive oxygen species with consequent clinical failure of PDT. Herein, a possible synergistic effect between singlet oxygen and nitric oxide (NO) is examined since this scenario may display increased tumoricidal activity. To this end, the trinuclear species [Ru(pc)(pz)2{Ru(bpy)2(NO)}2](PF6)6 (pc = phthalocyanine; pz = pyrazine; bpy = bipyridine) was synthesized to be a combined NO and singlet oxygen photogenerator. Photobiological assays using at 4 × 10(-6) M in the B16F10 cell line result in the decrease of cell viability to 21.78 ± 0.29% of normal under light irradiation at 660 nm. However, in the dark and at the same concentration of compound , viability was 91.82 ± 0.37% of normal. The potential application of a system like in clinical therapy against cancer may be as an upgrade to normal photodynamic therapy.

Abstract
As various fullerene derivatives have been developed, it is necessary to explore their photophysical properties for potential use in photoelectronics and medicine. Here, we address the photophysical properties of newly synthesized water-soluble fullerene-based nanoparticles and polyhydroxylated fullerene as a representative water-soluble fullerene derivative. They show broad emission band arising from a wide-range of excitation energies. It is attributed to the optical transitions from disorder-induced states, which decay in the nanosecond time range. We determine the kinetic properties of the singlet oxygen ((1)O2) luminescence generated by the fullerene nanoparticles and polyhydroxylated fullerene to consider the potential as photodynamic agents. Triplet state decay of the nanoparticles was longer than (1)O2 lifetime in water. Singlet oxygen quantum yield of a series of the fullerene nanoparticles is comparably higher ranging from 0.15 to 0.2 than that of polyhydroxylated fullerene, which is about 0.06.

Abstract
We report a new transient spectral method utilizing triplet excited state as sensitive reporters to monitor and differentiate the multiplex G-quadruplex/ligand interactions in a single assay, which is a difficult task and usually requires a combination of several techniques. From a systematic study on the interactions of porphyrin (TMPyP4) with each telomeric G-quadruplex: AG3(T2AG3)3, G2T2G2TGTG2T2G2, (G4T4G4)2, and (TG4T)4, it is convincingly shown that the ligand triplet decay lifetimes are sensitive to the local bound microenvironment within G-quadruplexes, from which the coexisting binding modes of end-stacking, intercalation, and sandwich are distinguished and their respective contribution are determined. The complete scenario of mixed interaction modes is thus revealed, shedding light on the past controversial issues. Additional control experiments demonstrate the sensitivity of this triplet reporter method, which can even capture the binding behavior change as the G-quadruplex structures are adjusted by Na(+) or K(+).

Abstract
CONSPECTUS: Singlet oxygen ((1)O2), the first excited electronic state of molecular oxygen, is a significant molecule, despite its minute size. For more than half a century, the molecule has been widely used and studied in organic synthesis, due to its characteristic oxygenation reactions. Furthermore, (1)O2 plays a key role in mechanisms of cell death, which has led to its use in therapies for several types of cancer and other diseases. The high abundance of oxygen in air provides a wonderful source of molecules that can be excited to the reactive singlet state, for example, by UV/vis irradiation of a photosensitizer molecule. Although convenient, this oxygen abundance also presents some challenges for purposes that require (1)O2 to be generated in a controlled manner. In the past decade, we and others have employed DNA nanostructures to selectively control and investigate the generation, lifetime, and reactions of (1)O2. DNA-based structures are one of the most powerful tools for controlling distances between molecules on the nanometer length scale, in particular for systems that closely resemble biological settings, due to their inherent ability to specifically form duplex structures with well-defined and predictable geometries. Here, we present some examples of how simple DNA structures can be employed to regulate (1)O2 production by controlling the behavior of (1)O2-producing photosensitizers through their interactions with independent quencher molecules. We have developed different DNA-based systems in which (1)O2 production can be switched ON or OFF in the presence of specific DNA sequences or by changing the pH of the solution. To further illustrate the interplay between DNA structures and (1)O2, we present three pieces of research, in which (1)O2 is used to activate or deactivate DNA-based systems based on the reaction between (1)O2 and cleavable linkers. In one example, it is demonstrated how a blocked oligonucleotide can be released upon irradiation with light of a specific wavelength. In more complex systems, DNA origami structures composed of more than 200 individual oligonucleotides were employed to study (1)O2 reactions in spatially resolved experiments on the nanoscale.

Abstract
The photodynamic effects of the cationic TMPyP (meso-tetrakis [N-methyl-4-pyridyl]porphyrin) and the anionic TPPS4 (meso-tetrakis[4-sulfonatophenyl]porphyrin) against PC/CL phosphatidylcholine/cardiolipin (85/15%) membranes were probed to address the influence of phorphyrin binding on lipid damage. Electronic absorption spectroscopy and zeta potential measurements demonstrated that only TMPyP binds to PC/CL large unilamellar vesicles (LUVs). The photodamage after irradiation with visible light was analyzed by dosages of lipid peroxides (LOOH) and thiobarbituric reactive substance and by a contrast phase image of the giant unilamellar vesicles (GUVs). Damage to LUVs and GUVs promoted by TMPyP and TPPS4 were qualitatively and quantitatively different. The cationic porphyrin promoted damage more extensive and faster. The increase in LOOH was higher in the presence of D2O, and was impaired by sodium azide and sorbic acid. The effect of D2O was higher for TPPS4 as the photosensitizer. The use of DCFH demonstrated that liposomes prevent the photobleaching of TMPyP. The results are consistent with a more stable TMPyP that generates long-lived singlet oxygen preferentially partitioned in the bilayer. Conversely, TPPS4 generates singlet oxygen in the bulk whose lifetime is increased in D2O. Therefore, the affinity of the porphyrin to the membrane modulates the rate, type and degree of lipid damage.

Abstract
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) of cancer is based on the cytotoxicity induced by a photosensitizer (PS) in the presence of oxygen and visible light, with formation of reactive oxygen species which cause cell death and tumor destruction. This work describes the response of the murine mammary adenocarcinoma, LM3, to repeated PDT using meso-tetrakis(4-N,N,N-trimethylanilinium)porphine (TMAP), a PS that has been overlooked for PDT applications. Intradermal LM3 tumors in BALB/c mice (controls) were left untreated, only treated with light, only injected with 0.9% NaCl solution or with TMAP alone (10 μg/0.1 ml). For PDT, the intratumoral PS injection was followed 1 h later by blue-red light irradiation (290 J.cm-2). In all cases, control and PDT treatments were performed on the depilated and glycerol-covered skin which covers the tumor of anesthetized animals, and repeated 4 times (every 2 days). No significant differences were found in the growth rate of all control tumors. PDT-treated tumors showed complete and long-term regression in 4 out of 5 mice, and cure in one animal. The survival of PDT-mice was significantly longer than that of controls (TMAP alone), showing a lower number of tumor-draining lymph node metastasis. The PDT protocol applied in the present work (intratumoral PS injection, repeated photosensitizing treatments, and reduction of tissue light scattering by glycerol) could be a useful strategy in studies on PDT of cancer.

Abstract
Photophysical properties of meso-tetrakis(4-N-methylpyridiniumyl)porphyrin ( TMpyP 4) and its metallocomplexes M (II) TMpy P4 ( M = Zn , Cu , Ni , Co ) bound to natural DNA and synthetic poly-, oligo- and mononucleotides are considered with a primary emphasis placed upon intermolecular interaction of the photoexcited porphyrins with the nearest environment. Quenching of the fluorescent S 1 (but not triplet T 1) state due to guanine to porphyrin electron transfer is observed for TMpyP 4 intercalated between GC base pairs of the double-strand helixes, whereas in the case of TMpyP 4 complexed with guanosine monophosphate (GMP) both S 1 and T 1 states of the porphyrin are quenched. Furthermore, a dependence of the efficiency of TMpyP 4 triplet state quenching by the dissolved molecular oxygen from air on the porphyrin localization enables one to readily distinguish porphyrin groove binding mode from intercalation. Excited states of the TMpyP 4 complexes with transition metals, in spite of their very short lifetimes, also interact with nucleic acid components by means of an axial ligand binding/release to/from the metal. A possible structure of the five-coordinate excited complex (“exciplex”) formed in case of CuTMpyP 4 groove binding to some single- and double-strand polynucleotides is discussed.

Abstract
The photophysics of free pyrenedicarboxamide (Py-DCA) in solution as well as of single-stranded and double-stranded oligonucleotides (ss and ds ONs) containing 1-7 pyrene building blocks per strand were studied by steady-state and time-resolved fluorescence spectroscopy. It was found that the fluorescence quantum yield Phi(F) of free Py-DCA chromophore in solution is rather high (Phi(F) = 0.44). However, after incorporation of the chromophore into a ss ON the monomeric chromophore fluorescence is quenched more than 40-fold due to electron-transfer reactions with ON bases. An increase of the number n of neighboring pyrenes in an ON results in Phi(F) growth up to 0.25 at n = 6. Starting from n = 2, all fluorescence belongs mainly to excimer formed by pyrene chromophores. Sections composed of multiple pyrenes may be considered as robust functional entities that may serve as independent modules in DNA-based, functional nano-architectures.

Abstract
Singlet molecular oxygen, O(2)(a(1)Delta(g)), can be created in a single cell from ground-state oxygen, O(2)(X(3)Sigma(g)(-)), upon focused laser irradiation of an intracellular sensitizer. This cytotoxic species can subsequently be detected by its 1270 nm phosphorescence (a(1)Delta(g) --> X(3)Sigma(g)(-)) with subcellular spatial resolution. The singlet oxygen lifetime determines its diffusion distance and hence the intracellular volume element in which singlet-oxygen-initiated perturbation of the cell occurs. In this study, the time-resolved phosphorescence of singlet oxygen produced by the sensitizers chlorin (Chl) and 5,10,15,20-tetrakis(N-methyl-4-pyridyl)-21H,23H-porphine (TMPyP) was monitored. These molecules localize in different domains of a living cell. The data indicate that (i) the singlet oxygen lifetime and (ii) the rate constant for singlet oxygen quenching by added NaN(3) depend on whether Chl or TMPyP was the photosensitizer. These observations likely reflect differences in the chemical and physical constituency of a given subcellular domain (e.g., spatially dependent oxygen and NaN(3) diffusion coefficients), thereby providing evidence that singlet oxygen responds to the inherent heterogeneity of a cell. Thus, despite a relatively long intracellular lifetime, singlet oxygen does not diffuse a great distance from its site of production. This is a consequence of an apparent intracellular viscosity that is comparatively large.

Abstract
The roles played by singlet oxygen ((1)O(2)) in photodynamic therapy are not fully understood yet. In particular, the mobility of (1)O(2) within cells has been a subject of debate for the last two decades. In this work, we report on the kinetics of (1)O(2) formation, diffusion, and decay in human skin fibroblasts. (1)O(2) has been photosensitized by two water-soluble porphyrins targeting different subcellular organelles, namely the nucleus and lysosomes, respectively. By recording the time-resolved near-IR phosphorescence of (1)O(2) and that of its precursor the photosensitizer's triplet state, we find that the kinetics of singlet oxygen formation and decay are strongly dependent on the site of generation. (1)O(2) photosensitized in the nucleus is able to escape out of the cells while (1)O(2) photosensitized in the lysosomes is not. Despite showing a lifetime in the microsecond time domain, (1)O(2) decay is largely governed by interactions with the biomolecules within the organelle where it is produced. This observation may reconcile earlier views that singlet oxygen-induced photodamage is highly localized, while its lifetime is long enough to diffuse over long distances within the cells.

Abstract
The risk of transmitting infections by blood transfusion has been substantially reduced. However, alternative methods for inactivation of pathogens in blood and its components are needed. Application of photoactivated cationic porphyrins can offer an approach to remove non-enveloped viruses from aqueous media. Here we tested the virus inactivation capability of meso-Tetrakis(4-N-methylpyridyl)porphyrin (TMPyP) and meso-Tri-(4-N-methylpyridyl)monophenylporphyrin (TMPyMPP) in the dark and upon irradiation. T7 bacteriophage, as a surrogate on non-enveloped viruses was selected as a test system. TMPyP and TMPyMPP reduce the viability of T7 phage already in the dark, which can be explained by their selective binding to nucleic acid. Both compounds proved to be efficient photosensitizers of virus inactivation. The binding of porphyrin to phage DNA was not a prerequisite of phage photosensitization, moreover, photoinactivation was more efficiently induced by free than by DNA bound porphyrin. As optical melting studies and agarose gel electrophoresis of T7 nucleoprotein revealed, photoreactions of TMPyP and TMPyMPP affect the structural integrity of DNA and also of viral proteins, despite their selective DNA binding.

Abstract
Singlet oxygen plays a major role in photodynamic inactivation of tumor cells or bacteria. Its efficacy depends critically on the oxygen concentration [O(2)], which can decrease in case oxygen is consumed caused by oxidative reactions. When detecting singlet oxygen directly by its luminescence at 1270 nm, the course of the luminescence signal is critically affected by [O(2)]. Thus, it should be feasible to monitor oxygen consumption during photo-oxidative processes. Singlet oxygen was generated by exciting a photosensitizer (TMPyP) in aqueous solution (H(2)O or D(2)O) of albumin. Chromatography shows that most of the TMPyP molecules are unbound, and therefore singlet oxygen molecules can diffuse in the solution. A sensor device for oxygen concentration revealed a rapid decrease of [O(2)] (oxygen depletion) in the solution during irradiation. The extent of oxygen depletion in aqueous albumin solution depends on the radiant exposure and the solvent. When detecting the luminescence signal of singlet oxygen, the shape of the luminescence signal significantly changed with irradiation time. Thus, local oxygen consumption could be monitored during photodynamic action by evaluating the course of singlet oxygen luminescence.

Abstract
Singlet molecular oxygen is a reactive oxygen species that plays an important role in a number of biological processes, both as a signalling agent and as an intermediate involved in oxidative degradation reactions. Singlet oxygen is commonly generated by the so-called photosensitization process wherein a light-absorbing molecule, the sensitizer, transfers its energy of excitation to ground-state oxygen to make singlet oxygen. This process forms the basis of photodynamic therapy, for example, where light, a sensitizer, and oxygen are used to initiate cell death and ultimately destroy undesired tissue. Although the photosensitized production of singlet oxygen has been studied and used in biologically pertinent systems for years, the photoinitiated behaviour is often indiscriminate and difficult to control. In this Concept, we discuss new ideas and results in which spatial and temporal control of photosensitized singlet oxygen production can be implemented through the incorporation of the sensitizer into a conjugate system that selectively responds to certain triggers or stimuli.

Abstract
Singlet molecular oxygen, O(2)(a(1)Delta(g)), has been detected from single neurons and HeLa cells in time-resolved optical experiments by its 1270 nm phosphorescence (a(1)Delta(g)--> X(3)Sigma(-)(g)) upon irradiation of a photosensitizer incorporated into the cell. The cells were maintained in a buffered medium and their viability was assessed by live/dead assays. To facilitate the detection of singlet oxygen, intracellular H(2)O was replaced with D(2)O by an osmotic de- and rehydration process. The effect of this insult on the cells was likewise assessed. The data indicate that, in the complicated transition from a "live" to "dead" cell, the majority of our cells have the metabolic activity and morphology characteristic of a live cell. Quenching experiments demonstrate that the singlet oxygen lifetime in our cells is principally determined by interactions with intracellular water and not by interactions with other cell constituents. The data indicate that in a viable, metabolically-functioning, and H(2)O-containing cell, the lifetime of singlet oxygen is approximately 3 micros. This is consistent with our previous reports, and confirms that the singlet oxygen lifetime in a cell is much longer than hitherto believed. This implies that, in a cell, singlet oxygen is best characterized as a selective rather than reactive intermediate. This is important when considering roles played by singlet oxygen as a signaling agent and as a component in events that result in cell death. The data reported herein also demonstrate that spatially-resolved optical probes can be used to monitor selected events in the light-induced, singlet-oxygen-mediated death of a single cell.

Abstract
Singlet molecular oxygen, a1Delta(g), can be detected from a single cell by its weak 1270 nm phosphorescence (a1Delta(g)-->X3Sigma(g)-) upon irradiation of the photosensitizer 5,10,15,20-tetrakis(N-methyl-4-pyridyl)-21H,23H-porphine (TMPyP) incorporated into the cell. The behavior of this sensitizer in a cell, and hence the behavior of the associated singlet oxygen phosphorescence signal, depends on the conditions under which the sample is exposed to light. Upon irradiation of a neuron freshly incubated with TMPyP, the intensity of TMPyP fluorescence initially increases and there is a concomitant increase in the singlet oxygen phosphorescence intensity from the cell. These results appear to reflect a photoinduced release of TMPyP bound to DNA in the nucleus of the cell, where TMPyP tends to localize, and the subsequent relocalization of TMPyP to a different microenvironment in the cell. Upon prolonged irradiation of the cell, TMPyP photobleaches and there is a corresponding decrease in the singlet oxygen phosphorescence intensity from the cell. The data reported herein provide insight into key factors that can influence photosensitized singlet oxygen experiments performed on biological samples.

Abstract
The lowest excited electronic state of molecular oxygen, singlet molecular oxygen, O(2)(a (1)Delta(g)), is a reactive species involved in many chemical and biological processes. To better understand the roles played by singlet oxygen in biological systems, particularly at the sub-cellular level, optical tools have been developed to create and directly detect this transient state in time- and spatially-resolved experiments from single cells. Data obtained indicate that, contrary to common perception, this reactive species can be quite long-lived in a cell and, as such, can diffuse over appreciable distances including across the cell membrane into the extracellular environment. On one hand, these results demonstrate that the behavior of singlet oxygen in an intact cell can be significantly different from that inferred from model bulk studies. More generally, these results provide a new perspective for mechanistic studies of intra- and inter-cellular signaling and events that ultimately lead to photo-induced cell death.

Abstract
The ability of photosensitisers to give reactive oxygenated products is considered decisive for photodynamic applications, but the hydrophobic nature of many porphyrins makes necessary to obtain suitable pharmaceutical formulations. This paper reports the structural photosensitiser features that allow the preparation of stable liposomal formulations. Metallated and non-metallated TPPs and TPyPs and different lipid/porphyrin ratios were considered in order to procure liposomal preparations containing porphyrin concentrations adequate to necessary doses. The results show that the incorporation of porphyrins into liposomes can be related with their ability to form aggregates in a watery media. Thus, ZnTPP, which structural properties avoid the formation of aggregates, was efficiently incorporated into stable liposomes. Moreover, the efficient generation of singlet oxygen by ZnTPP liposomal suspensions has been shown. Because of this, the synthesis of hydrophobic porphyrin derived structures or other sensitisers, which do not aggregate in a watery media and with Q-bands shifted to higher lambda values than ZnTPP, will be efficiently incorporated into liposomes and useful for clinical applications.

Abstract
A series of cationic porphyrins with 1-4 positive charges are studied: mono(N-methyl-4-pyridyl)triphenylporphine chloride [Mono], cis(N-methyl-4-pyridyl)diphenylporphine chloride [Cis], tri(N-methyl-4-pyridyl)monophenylporphine chloride [Tri] and tetra(N-methyl-4-pyridyl)porphine chloride [Tetra]. Their photophysical properties are measured in small unilamellar vesicles and compared with those in homogeneous solution. Liposomes of L-alpha-dimyristoyl-phosphatidylcholine (100 nm diameter) and L-alpha-dipalmitoyl-phosphatidylcholine (50 nm diameter) in phosphate-buffered saline (pH = 7.4) or D2O 0.15 M NaCl were used. The effect of the medium microheterogeinity is discussed. The triplet quantum yields in liposomes for all the porphyrins are about 0.7, similar to the value obtained for Tetra in aqueous media. The singlet molecular oxygen quantum yields for the hydrophilic compounds Tri and Tetra are greater than those of the hydrophobic ones, Mono and Cis. Also, association constants (KL) of the dyes to liposomes and their localization within the membranes are determined from fluorescence and fluorescence polarization measurements, respectively. KL values are in the range of 10(4)-10(5) M-1 for all the compounds, indicating that hydrophobic and coulombic interactions between porphyrins and liposomes are responsible for the dye association. Fluorescence polarization experiments indicate that Mono and Cis can penetrate into the lipidic phase, and that Tri and Tetra are located near the polar heads of the lipidic molecules.
