Abstract
Relationships between the structure and properties of chemicals can be programmed into knowledge-based systems such as DEREK for Windows (DEREK is an acronym for "Deductive Estimation of Risk from Existing Knowledge"). The DEREK for Windows computer system contains a subset of over 60 rules describing chemical substructures (toxophores) responsible for skin sensitisation. As part of the European Phototox Project, the rule base was supplemented by a number of rules for the prospective identification of photoallergens, either by extension of the scope of existing rules or by the generation of new rules where a sound mechanistic rationale for the biological activity could be established. The scope of the rules for photoallergenicity was then further refined by assessment against a list of chemicals identified as photosensitisers by the Centro de Farmacovigilancia de la Comunidad Valenciana, Valencia, Spain. This paper contains an analysis of the mechanistic bases of activity for eight important groups of photoallergens and phototoxins, together with rules for the prospective identification of the photobiological activity of new or untested chemicals belonging to those classes. The mechanism of action of one additional chemical, nitrofurantoin, is well established; however, it was deemed inappropriate to write a rule on the basis of a single chemical structure.

Abstract
To investigate the mechanism on photosensitive dermatitis caused by ketoprofen (KP) in humans, the following experiments were performed by topical application on guinea pigs. The phototoxicity study involving treatment with 10% solution of KP, its enantiomers (R-KP and S-KP), loxoprofen, and flurbiprofen revealed no phototoxic reactions. In the photoallergenicity study, KP and its enantiomers (0.5-2% solution) induced skin reaction at all dosages; however, loxoprofen and flurbiprofen (1-5% solution) did not induce such a photoallergenic reaction. These results suggest that the chemical structure of the benzophenone chromophore in KP would be one of the important factors for induction of the photoallergy since both loxoprofen and flurbiprofen do not possess this structure and hence lack photoallergenic potential. Furthermore, to assess time profiles of KP concentration in the skin and plasma, guinea pigs received a repeated topical application of R-KP and S-KP at a dosage of 40 mg/kg over a period of 3 days. Plasma KP concentrations were extremely low as compared to skin KP concentrations and were not detected at 72 h after the final dosing. At 24 h after the final dosing, KP concentrations in the skin with R-KP and S-KP treatment were 187.4 and 254.7 microg/g, respectively, and their half-lives were 80.5 and 84.4 h, respectively. KP concentrations at 336 h after final dosing were 11.3 microg/g for R-KP and 15.7 microg/g for S-KP treatment. The acylglycerol-combined KP concentrations at 336 h were 2% or less as compared to KP concentrations with R-KP and S-KP treatment. There were no differences in KP concentrations in the skin between R-KP and S-KP and in combined KP concentrations between the enantiomers. The present study indicates that photosensitive dermatitis after topical application of KP in humans, caused by photoallergenicity and not phototoxicity, can be reproduced in the animal testing, and suggests that the skin reaction may be caused by the long period of retention of KP in the skin.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Ketoprofen, suprofen and tiaprofenic acid are arylpropionic anti-inflammatories. Their chemical structures share the same elements as the benzoyl radical and the tiophene ring. We experienced nine cases of ketoprofen photoallergy, seven cases of suprofen photoallergy and three cases of tiaprofenic photoallergy. PURPOSE To find the key structure of photosensitivity and photocross-reactivity to ketoprofen, suprofen and tiaprofenic acid. METHODS : Three animals were tested for phototoxicity and six animals for the photosensitization potentials of ketoprofen, suprofen, tiaprofenic acid and benzophenone, and the photocross-reactivity of the above chemicals. Test substances were applied symmetrically on both sides of the animals' backs. The animals were irradiated with 180 mJ/cm2 UVB ((1/2) MED) and 10 J/cm2 UVA on the left side. The reactions were read on days 2, 3 and 4. The photosensitization potentials of ketoprofen, suprofen, tiaprofenic acid and benzophenone were determined using the Adjuvant-Strip method. Six animals were assigned to each test group and to a control group. RESULTS Ketoprofen, suprofen, tiaprofenic acid and propionic acid showed negative reactions with the phototoxic test. Benzophenone showed phototoxic reactions to 40% acetone (ac.), 20% ac. and 10% ac. Therefore, we used 5% aq. benzophenone with the photosensitization test. Ketoprofen was the strongest photosensitizer (6/6) and showed photocross-reactivities to suprofen (2/6), tiaprofenic acid (3/6) and benzophenone (6/6). Suprofen was a strong photosensitizer (4/6) and showed photocross-reactivities to ketoprofen (1/4) and tiaprofenic acid (2/4), but not to benzophenone. Tiaprofenic acid was also a photosensitizer (2/6) but showed a photocross-reactivity only to benzophenone (2/2). Benzophenone was also the strongest photosensitizer (6/6), but did not photocross-react to the above three chemicals. CONCLUSION From the test results, it appears that benzoyl radical is the key structure for photosensitivity and the photocross-reactivity of ketoprofen, suprofen and tiaprofenic acid. The whole structure of benzophenone was needed to induce photosensitization of benzophenone. The animals that were photosensitized from the entire structure of benzophenone did not photocross-react to ketoprofen, suprofen or tiaprofenic acid.

Abstract
The photoreactivity of the nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory 2-arylpropionic acids benoxaprofen, carprofen, naproxen, ketoprofen, tiaprofenic acid, and suprofen is reviewed with special emphasis on fundamental photophysical and photochemical properties. The absorption and emission properties of the excited states of these drugs as well as their main photodegradation routes are summarized. The photochemical mechanisms are discussed on the basis of product studies and detection of short-lived intermediates by means of laser flash photolysis. After dealing with the unimolecular processes, attention is focused on the photosensitized reactions of key biomolecules, such as lipids, proteins or nucleic acids. Finally, a short section on the photobiological effects on simple biological models is also included. Although some earlier citations are included, the literature coverage is in general limited to the last decade.

Abstract
Photobinding of drugs to biomolecules constitutes an important early event in the onset of photoallergy. In the present work, UV irradiation of human serum albumin in the presence of either suprofen (SUP) or its major photoproduct, decarboxylated suprofen (DSUP), has been studied as a model system for drug-photosensitised protein binding. Both dark binding and binding in the presence of light were investigated since this will affect the mode, site and mechanism of drug interaction with the protein. In order to determine the binding features of SUP to albumin, competitive binding experiments were carried out using fluorescent probes specific for site I and II. Suprofen was found to selectively dark bind to site II on HSA. Photobinding of DSUP to HSA was more efficient than SUP. Parallel to this, the intrinsic tryptophan fluorescence of HSA decreased when the protein was previously irradiated in the presence of the photoactive compounds, again being DSUP more efficient compared with SUP. As fluorescence quenching involves electron transfer from the excited Trp to the ground state DSUP, it follows that the photoactive compound binding to HSA must be on (or in close proximity to) site I Trp(214) residue. It appears that photobinding of SUP is largely preceded by its photodecomposition to DSUP which, in turn, associates and photobinds to HSA.

Abstract
Relationships between the structure and properties of chemicals can be programmed into knowledge-based systems such as DEREK (an acronym for 'Deductive Estimation of Risk from Existing Knowledge'). The DEREK knowledge-based computer system contains a sub-set of over 50 rules describing chemical substructures (toxophores) responsible for skin sensitization. This rulebase, based originally on Unilever historical in-house guinea pig maximisation test data, is largely complete and is undergoing refinement as the next stage of its development. As part of an ongoing program of validation and testing, the predictive ability of the sensitization rule set was assessed by processing the structures of over 100 chemical substances in the list of contact allergens identified by the BgVV (German Federal Institute for Health Protection of Consumers). The exercise highlighted areas of chemistry where further development of the rulebase was required, either by extension of the scope of existing rules or by generation of new rules where a sound mechanistic rationale for the biological activity could be established. Several chemicals likely to be acting as photoallergens were identified and rules for photoallergenicity were written covering three classes of chemicals. This paper describes work to extend the DEREK rules for photoallergenicity as part of the European Phototox Project.

Abstract
On irradiation at UVB wavelengths, in aerated neutral aqueous solution, the anti-inflammatory drug suprofen (SP) photosensitizes the production of alkali-labile cleavage sites in DNA much more efficiently than direct strand breaks. It is active at submillimolar concentrations despite having no significant binding affinity for DNA. Gel sequencing studies utilizing 32P-end-labeled oligonucleotides have revealed that piperidine-sensitive lesions are formed predominantly at the positions of guanine (G) bases, with the extent of modification being UV dose- and SP concentration-dependent. Quite distinct patterns of G-specific damage are observed in single-stranded and duplex DNA molecules. The uniform attack at all G residues in single-stranded DNA, which is enhanced in D2O, is compatible with a Type-II mechanism. SP is a known generator of singlet oxygen whose participation in the reaction is supported by the effects of quenchers and scavengers. In duplex DNA, piperidine-induced cleavage occurs with high selectivity at the 5'-G of GG and (less prominently) GA doublets. This behavior is characteristic of a Type-I process involving electron transfer from DNA to photoexcited SP molecules. The ability of SP to sensitize the formation of Type-I and Type-II photo-oxidation products from 2'-deoxyguanosine attests to the feasibility of competing mechanisms in DNA.

Abstract
A combined differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and photosensitization study has been carried out on the interaction of several NSAID on DNA, both from calf thymus and pBR 322 plasmid. The investigated compounds were both non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs as well as compounds related to NSAIDs for structural similar properties, to find evidence for their ability to interact with DNA as a function of steric hindrance and polarity of the chemical structures. The considered NSAIDs were diflunisal (DFN, a salicylic derivative), naproxen (NAP), ketoprofen (KPF), suprofen (SPF) and tiaprofenic acid (TIA, arylpropionic acids). The structural criterion used was related to three different aromatic groups, biphenyl, naphthalene and benzophenone (BZP). In fact drug-DNA interaction can be revealed by variations of the enthalpies and temperatures of unfolding of DNA obtained by comparison of calorimetric peaks, where a decrease of the enthalpy is associated with the drug-DNA interaction, by engaging electrostatic bonds. Testing their ability in inducing DNA cleavage when UVA irradiated can evidence the photosensitizing properties of the drug. A good correlation was found between calorimetric and photosensitization studies. From the results obtained it can be reasonably supposed that the photocleavage depends only on the drug molecules bound to DNA.

Abstract
The arylpropionic acid derivatives (APADs) ketoprofen and tiaprofenic acid can provoke photoallergic dermatitis. Possible cross-reactivity between APADs is of importance in patients using nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. Because of the similarities in chemical structures, we investigated patients with photoallergy to ketoprofen or tiaprofenic acid, in order to study cross-reactivity between APADs and a possible pattern of cross-reactivity between benzophenone-containing molecules, so as to determine the molecular basis of photoallergy to ketoprofen or tiaprofenic acid. 10 patients with photoallergy to topical ketoprofen, 2 with photoallergy to oral tiaprofenic acid, and 15 control subjects with no history of contact dermatitis from APADs, nor from benzophenone-containing molecules, were photopatch tested in triplicate with ketoprofen, tiaprofenic acid, other APADs (alminoprofen, fenoprofen, flurbiprofen, ibuprofen and naproxen), benzophenone-containing molecules (fenofibrate, oxybenzone, sulisobenzone), and unsubstituted benzophenone. 1 set was irradiated with UVA light, 1 with solar-simulated irradiation and 1 dark control. Tests were read at 2, 3 and 4 days. Patients reacted to both ketoprofen and tiaprofenic acid (12/12), fenofibrate (8/12), oxybenzone (3/12) and unsubstituted benzophenone (11/12), but not to other APADs, nor to sulisobenzone. Tests remained negative in control patients. Photoallergy is due to the benzophenone moiety of ketoprofen, or to the very similar thiophene-phenylketone of tiaprofenic acid, but not to their arylpropionic function. This induces cross-reactivity to fenofibrate and oxybenzone but not to APADs without a benzophenone moiety, which may therefore probably be used in such patients. Unsubstituted benzophenone should be added to standard phototesting series.

Abstract
The nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory agents ketoprofen, tiaprofenic acid, suprofen and tolmetin, together with the anti-hyperlipoproteinemic drug fenofibrate and the anti-arrhythmic amiodarone can be included in the group of benzophenone-derived photosensitizing drugs. They contain a diaryl ketone chromophore and mediate the development of phototoxic reactions. In some cases, photoallergic responses have been reported. These properties have been substantiated in clinical reports, as well as by means of in vivo and in vitro assays. Tolmetin is phototoxic in vitro, however there are no reports on photosensitization by this drug in humans. In general, photochemical and photobiological studies strongly suggest that photosensitization involves formal hydrogen abstraction (either in a single step or via electron transfer followed by proton transfer) by the benzophenone-like chromophore from the excited triplet state. In the case of amiodarone, the radicals generated by photodehalogenation from the triplet are responsible for the photosensitivity side-effects.

Abstract
Suprofen, an anti-inflammatory drug was incorporated in polymer networks based on biocompatible macromolecules, such as alpha,beta-polyasparthydrazide (PAHy) and alpha,beta-poly(N-hydroxyethyl)-DL-aspartamide (PHEA) crosslinked by glutaraldehyde or gamma-rays, respectively. Swelling tests carried out in aqueous media showed that pH value affects the swelling degree of the prepared hydrogels. In vitro release tests were performed in simulated gastrointestinal fluids (pH 1/6.8) using the pH variation method and in phosphate-buffered saline, pH 7.4. Experimental data indicated that Suprofen was released in a sustained way both from PAHy and PHEA microparticles. Further, incorporation of Suprofen in PAHy and PHEA networks provided a significant reduction of the drug photosensitizing activity, as evidenced by in vitro hemolysis tests.

Abstract
Photocleavage of DNA induced by naproxen and the correlated protective effect by some inorganic ions have been considered. The presence of a DNA complex is suggested and only associated naproxen seems to be responsible for the cleavage, for which the quantum yield of single strand breaks was calculated. The inorganic ions I-, Mn2+, Co2+ and Cu2+ decrease naproxen-photoinduced DNA cleavage. Iodide acts by a heavy atom mechanism, thus inhibiting naproxen photolysis and decreasing the amount of free radicals responsible for the photocleavage both in aerobic and anaerobic conditions. Metallic ions protect only within a range of concentrations, as for higher amounts damaging processes are observed. The protective efficiency of cations decreases with the increase of free drug concentration in the bulk of the solution, due to their involvement in the scavenging of naproxen radicals generated by photolysis of the free drug. In the presence of EDTA the cations show a better protective action. The most likely hypothesis is an inhibiting effect on the damaging processes via a redox cycle. The different behaviors of copper and of the two other cations can be justified by the influence of redox potentials of free and complexed metals and by the superoxide dismutase-like activity of copper.

Abstract
Cutaneous photosensitivity diseases may be idiopathic, produced by endogenous photosensitizers, or associated with exogenous photosensitizers. Those caused by exogenous agents include phototoxicity, photoallergy, and the exacerbation or induction of systemic disorders in which photosensitivity is a prominent clinical manifestation. Phototoxic disorders have a high incidence, whereas photoallergic reactions are much less frequent. The action spectra for most phototoxins and photoallergens lie in the UVA range. Phototoxic and photoallergic reactions can be distinguished on the basis of pathogenesis, clinical characteristics, diagnosis, and management. Drugs capable of causing phototoxic reactions include psoralens, porphyrins, coal tar, antibiotics, and nonsteroidal antiinflammatory agents. Drugs capable of causing photoallergic reactions include topical antimicrobial agents, fragrances, sunscreens, nonsteroidal antiinflammatory agents, plants, and psychiatric medications. Drug-induced systemic diseases in which photosensitivity is a prominent component include drug-induced lupus erythematosus, porphyria, and pellagra.

Abstract
Ultraviolet-A irradiation of a suprofen (2-[4-2(2-thenoyl) phenyl]propionic acid) (SPF) buffered solution (pH 7.4) in the presence of supercoiled pBR322 DNA leads to single strand breaks with the formation of an open circular form and subsequent linearization of the plasmid. On the basis of agarose gel electrophoresis data of samples irradiated in an air-saturated solution or in an oxygen-modified atmosphere, and the effects of sodium azide, D20, mannitol, copper(II), superoxide dismutase, 2-H-propanol, deferoxamine and surfactants, we suggest a photosensitization mechanism involving singlet oxygen and free radicals. The higher rate of photocleavage in nitrogen compared to that in an air-saturated solution and the results obtained from oxygen consumption measurements support the hypothesis that both the type I and type II photosensitization mechanisms are operative and that oxygen quenches the excited state of the irradiated drug. The photosensitization model applied was in agreement with that previously applied to cell membrane SPF photoinduced damage. Interaction of the drug with DNA, studied through circular dichroism and fluorescence anisotropy, probably occurs through a surface binding mode. The experimental techniques used for assessing the photodamaging activity of this drug may be useful for screening of phototoxic compounds in the environment and for determining the active species involved.

Abstract
Red blood cell lysis photosensitized by Suprofen (SPF) and the photolysis of the drug were investigated. The photohemolysis process occurs at a higher rate in anaerobic than aerobic conditions. The effect of additives demonstrates the involvement of free radicals and, to a lesser extent, singlet oxygen and hydroxyl radicals in the process. Photolysis of the drug at 310-390 nm in deaerated buffered solutions (pH 7.4) leads to a decarboxylation process with the formation of p-ethylphenyl 2-thienyl ketone (I), whereas in aerated solutions formation of photoproduct I and of the photoproducts p-acetylphenyl 2-thienyl ketone (II) and p-(1-hydroxyethyl)phenyl-2-thienyl ketone (III) occurs. The photodegradation products, which were separated and characterized, show a moderate lytic and photolytic activity. The rate of SPF photodegradation decreases in the presence of oxygen and increases in the presence of hydrogen donors. The overall results lead us to propose a mechanism of SPF photodegradation and a hemolysis scheme in which cell damage is provoked principally by the direct attack of drug radicals and secondarily by singlet oxygen and hydroxyl radicals.

Abstract
A 79-year-old Japanese woman developed edematous erythema on sun-exposed areas 3 months after applying Sulprotin ointment, which contains 1% suprofen (SP), a phenylacetic acid derivative. A patch test with Sulprotin ointment as it was negative, but a photopatch test with Sulprotein ointment as is was positive. A photopatch test with 10-3% SP was positive, as was that obtained with an SP analogue, 3% ketoprofen, but that with the ointment base of Sulprotin was negative. Photopatch tests with other SP analogues such as flurbiprofen, ibuprofen, and pranoprofen were negative. She developed abnormal erythema with monochromatic irradiation in the range from 320 to 380 nm on the uninvolved abdominal skin where 1% SP had been applied 24 hours (h) before irradiation. The action spectrum for this erythema agreed with the absorption spectrum of SP in the range of UVA. The MED after applying SP was below that after applying w. pet. in the range from 250 to 290 nm and from 300 to 320 nm. Positive intracutaneous test results were obtained with an irradiated mixture of human serum albumin (HSA) and SP at 48 and 72 h after injection and negative ones with a mixture of HSA and irradiated SP.

Abstract
The photochemistry of the photosensitizing nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drugs tiaprofenic acid and suprofen involves the intermediacy of short-lived species (i.e. radicals). The data obtained in the present work strongly suggest that such intermediates may be responsible for the phototoxicity of 2-arylpropionic acids by inducing photodynamic lipid peroxidation at drug concentrations likely to be reached in the skin. This has been investigated using linoleic acid as a model lipid and determining the amount of hydroperoxides by measuring the spectrophotometric absorption at 233 nm, associated with the formation of dienic hydroperoxides. The major photoproducts of tiaprofenic acid and suprofen are derivatives bearing an ethyl side chain. Photoproducts of this type, due to the lack of polar moieties, are highly lipophilic and likely to accumulate in the lipid bilayer of cell membranes. Taking into account their ability to induce photodynamic lipid peroxidation and their marked photostability, it is conceivable that such photoproducts can participate in many catalytic cycles, playing a significant role in the mechanism of photosensitization by tiaprofenic acid and suprofen.

Abstract
Red blood cell lysis and histidine degradation, photosensitized by tiaprofenic acid (TIA), were investigated. Photohaemolysis was markedly enhanced in oxygenated solutions, but was also intense in the presence of nitrogen. Photohaemolysis was inhibited by butylated hydroxyanisole and reduced glutathione, but was unaffected by sodium azide, superoxide dismutase and mannitol. The TIA-induced photo-oxidation of histidine was greatly enhanced in the presence of oxygen and almost completely inhibited in solutions bubbled with nitrogen. Sodium azide, butylated hydroxyanisole and reduced glutathione inhibited the photodegradation of histidine. Phototoxicity to histidine was unaffected by mannitol and superoxide dismutase. The overall results suggest that molecular mechanisms involving free radicals and singlet oxygen are responsible for TIA-photosensitized reactions. These two in vitro models (photohaemolysis and histidine degradation) represent different mechanisms of phototoxicity, but complement one another in the investigation of potential phototoxic substances.

Abstract
It is a well-known fact among clinicians that sunlight may exacerbate atopic dermatitis (AD), but little is known beyond that. In a preliminary study investigating this phenomenon, 19 patients with AD were selected for phototests. All of them had a normal minimal erythema dose (MED). However, 3 patients (15.7%) demonstrated abnormal cutaneous responses 24-72 h after provocation with ultraviolet light B (UVB). None of the patients had a positive response to pure ultraviolet light A (UVA) irradiation of up to 9 J/cm2. The photobiological results of this study confirm the existence of photosensitivity in AD and indicate that UVB wavelengths are responsible for it.

Abstract
The effect of nimesulide on red blood cell (RBC) lysis photosensitized by tiaprofenic acid was investigated. The tiaprofenic acid-induced photohemolysis rate was enhanced by exposure to oxygen but lysis was also observed under anaerobic conditions. Photohemolysis was decreased by reduced glutathione (GSH) and reduced even more by butylated hydroxyanisole (BHA); sodium azide, superoxide dismutase and mannitol did not show a significant effect. Nimesulide did not cause any RBC lysis and inhibited this action of tiaprofenic acid by 20-30%, depending on the concentration of nimesulide and the intensity of ultraviolet A light. The protective effect of GSH, but not of BHA, was increased by nimesulide. Our findings suggest that free radicals are generated in this in vitro model of phototoxicity and are involved in the photoaggression to the red blood cell membrane, this effect being partially inhibited by nimesulide.
