Reduction of photodynamic damage of blood vessels in the protected region by (–)-epigallocatechin gallate

Photodynamic therapy (PDT) has been increasingly used in the clinical treatment of neoplastic, inflammatory and infectious skin diseases. However, the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) may induce undesired side effects in normal tissue surrounding the treatment lesion, which is a big chall...

description Photodynamic therapy (PDT) has been increasingly used in the clinical treatment of neoplastic, inflammatory and infectious skin diseases. However, the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) may induce undesired side effects in normal tissue surrounding the treatment lesion, which is a big challenge for the clinical application of PDT. To date, (–)-Epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) has been widely proposed as an antiangiogenic and antitumor agent for the protection of normal tissue from ROS-mediated oxidative damage. This study evaluates the regulation ability of EGCG for photodynamic damage of blood vessels during hematoporphyrin monomethyl ether (Hemoporfin)-mediated PDT. The quenching rate constants of EGCG for the triplet-state Hemoporfin and photosensitized 1O2 generation are determined to be [Formula: see text] M−1S−1 and [Formula: see text] M−1S−1, respectively. The vasoconstriction of blood vessels in the protected region treated with EGCG hydrogel after PDT is lower than that of the control region treated with pure hydrogel, suggesting an efficiently reduced photodamage of Hemoporfin for blood vessels treated with EGCG. This study indicates that EGCG is an efficient quencher for triplet-state Hemoporfin and 1O2, and EGCG could be potentially used to reduce the undesired photodamage of normal tissue in clinical PDT.
