Abstract

Effect of ethylene and propylene oxide tri-block copolymers (Pluronics) on the photocatalytic activity of tree porphyrins differing by their hydrophobicity was studied. It was shown that Pluronics induce considerable increase in the photocatalytic activity of the tetraphenylporphyrin, hematoporphyrin disodium salt (Dimegine) and relatively hydrophilic N-methyl-bis-glucamine salt of chlorine e6 (Photoditazine) in the reaction of photooxidation of tryptophan in water solution. This effect was maximal for Pluronics F127 and P85 with intermediate hydrophobicity, while more hydrophilic F68 and more hydrophobic L61 were less effective. Pluronic effect on the photocatalytic activity of tetraphenylporphyrin and dimegine is attributed to their disaggregation in water solution, while PD activity is elevated due to the local concentrating of the photocatalyst and the substrate within micellar volume. It was found by AFM that the structure of Pluronic F127 thin films prepared by water solution evaporation on mica surface significantly changed in the presence of porphyrin. This effect can be attributed to the interaction of Pluronics with porphyrins in water solution.
