Three pheophorbide-related compounds (1-3) were isolated from the leaves and stems of Clerodendrum calamitosum. The methyl ester of 3 (6) and the known (10S)-hydroxypheophytin a (7) also were isolated from leaves of the related plant Clerodendrum cyrtophyllum. Compounds 1 and 6 were isolated for the first time as naturally occurring products from a plant source. All structures were elucidated by detailed spectroscopic analysis. Biological evaluation showed that 1 and 2 exhibited strong cytotoxicity against human lung carcinoma (A549), ileocecal carcinoma (HCT-8), kidney carcinoma (CAKI-1), breast adenocarcinoma (MCF-7), malignant melanoma (SK-MEL-2), ovarian carcinoma (1A9), and epidermoid carcinoma of the nasopharynx (KB), and its etoposide- (KB-7d), vincristine- (KB-VCR), and camptothecin-resistant (KB-CPT) subclones. Compound 3 was less cytotoxic than 1 and 2. Compounds 4-6, the methyl esters of 1-3, showed strongly increased cytotoxicity compared with the parent acids. Interestingly, 6 was the most active derivative among these compounds. Compound 7 was inactive.

Girard, Denis,Weagle, Glenn,Gupta, Atul,Berube, Gervais,Chapados, Camille
, p. 360 - 365 (2008)
Tetrapyrrole ethanolamide derivatives, 1 and 2, were prepared from hematoporphyrin IX (HPIX, 3) and methyl pheophorbide a (mPheo, 6). These were evaluated for their dual action as chemotherapeutics and photosensitizers in treatment of cancer. The novel compounds showed significant in vitro anticancer activity as measured in different cell lines using the MTT assay and photodynamic activity measured by erythrocytes' photohemolysis.

Zinc methyl pheophorbides a/a’, which possess oxo and methoxycarbonyl groups at the C131- and C132-positions, respectively, on the exo-five membered ring fusing the cyclic tetrapyrrole of their chlorin π-skeletons, were prepared via chemical modifications of chlorophyll a produced in phototrophs. The C131-hydroxylated and unsubstituted analogues were synthesized by reduction of the ketone moiety. The C131- and C132-stereochemistry of these semi-synthetic compounds was confirmed by 1H NMR and circular dichroism spectroscopies. A methoxycarbonyl group at the chiral C132-position in the ketone was stereo-inverted under basic conditions, whereas those in the corresponding alcoholic and dihydro-forms were not. The in vitro BciC enzymatic reaction of the (132R)-ketone was found to stereoselectively hydrolyze the C132-methoxycarbonyl group, followed by spontaneous decarboxylation. Similarly, the (132R)-COOCH3 group in the (131S)-alcohol was hydrolyzed, whereas the (132R)-COOCH3 group in the (131R)-alcohol was not. After the enzymatic reaction of the C131-dihydro-compound, its (132S)-demethoxycarbonylated and hydroxylated product was observed.

Paragraph 0061-0063, (2020/08/07)
The invention provides a chlorin e6 ferrocene conjugate with photo- and acoustic-sensitive activity as well as a preparation method and application thereof, and belongs to the technical field of chemical medicines. The chlorin e6 ferrocene conjugate disclosed by the invention has different degrees of inhibition effects on Hela cells in in-vitro anti-tumor activity evaluation. The introduction of the ferrocene group significantly improves the proliferation inhibition activity of the compound on tumor cells, and the proliferation inhibition activity of the chlorin e6 ferrocene conjugate on tumorcells is much higher than that of chlorin e6 used as a control group. The method can be used for preparing photosensitizers and sonosensitizers in photodynamic therapy and sonodynamic therapy methodsfor tumor therapy.

The long wavelength absorbing photosensitizer (PS) is important in allowing deeper penetration of near-infrared light into tumor tissue for photodynamic therapy (PDT). A suitable drug delivery vehicle is important to attain a sufficient concentration of PS at the tumor site. Presently, we developed graphene oxide (GO) nanoparticles containing long wavelength absorbing PS in the form of the chlorin derivative purpurin-18-N-ethylamine (maximum absorption wavelength [λmax] 707 nm). The GO-PS complexes comprised a delivery system in which PS was loaded by covalent and noncovalent bonding on the GO nanosheet. The two GO-PS complexes were fully characterized and compared concerning their synthesis, stability, cell viability, and dark toxicity. The GO-PS complexes produced significantly-enhanced PDT activity based on excellent drug delivery effect of GO compared with PS alone. In addition, the noncovalent GO-PS complex displayed higher photoactivity, corresponding with the pH-induced release of noncovalently-bound PS from the GO complex in the acidic environment of the cells. Furthermore, the noncovalently bound GO-PS complex had no dark toxicity, as their highly organized structure prevented GO toxicity. We describe an excellent GO complex-based delivery system with significantly enhanced PDT with long wavelength absorbing PS, as well as reduced dark toxicity as a promising cancer treatment.
