Abstract
Using zinc octa(diethoxyphosphenylmethyl)phthalocyanine as an example, we determined experimentally the quantum yield of generation of singlet oxygen (ϕΔ) which makes it possible to evaluate quantitatively the efficiency of photogeneration of 1O2 and the influence of biomolecules on this parameter. It is shown that the efficiency of generation of singlet oxygen by the sensitizers used in photodynamic therapy depends on their state in a solution and increases with disaggregation of the dye and its interaction with biomolecules. It is established that phthalocyanine in an aqueous buffer solution sensitizes the formation of 1O2 with the quantum yield ϕΔ = 0.16 ± 0.02. On introduction of the detergent Triton X‐100 into the buffer solution of phthalocyanine, ϕΔ increases up to 0.48 ± 0.07. In a microheterogeneous medium (buffer + albumin) ϕΔ = 0.42.
