Description
DEVELOPMENT IN BIOLOGICALLY ACTIVE METHYLENE BLUE DERIVATIVES (2)
FIELD OF THE INVENTION This invention relates to biologically active photosensitizers that are strongly photocytotoxic and have application in areas of photodynamic therapy (PDT), their compositions, their uses as medicaments particularly in the treatment of cancer and in the treatment and prevention of microbial infections. , its uses in diagnosis and detection of medical conditions and related uses in photochemical infernalisation, in the production of vaccines against cancer and in photo-disinfection or photo-sterilization. The invention also relates to conjugates and mixed substances of photosensitizers that can be used in photo-disinfection or photosterilization. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION It is known that certain organic compounds ("photosensitizers") can induce cell death by absorbing light in the presence of oxygen. The cytotoxic effect involves type I and / or type II photooxidation. These photosensitizers find use in the treatment of cancer and other diseases or infections with light (photodynamic therapy) and in the sterilization (which includes disinfection) of surfaces and fluids by means of the destruction
Ref.169942 induced by light of microbes. In this context, the term "sterilization" means the reduction or elimination of microbes in a particular situation. It is also known that certain colored phenothiazinium compounds (e.g., methylene blue) may occur in the processes of type I and type II photooxidation, but compounds of this type have so far proved inadequate or of low efficacy as sensitizers for photodynamic therapy, or have shown low photochemical antimicrobial activity, or have potential problems in use because they are positive Ames. For PDT application, a good sensitizer must have some and preferably all of the following properties: • It must cause the destruction of target cells
(eg tumor cells or bacterial cells) efficiently exposed to light (preferably at wavelengths of approximately 600-800 nm) • Must show a high degree of selectivity between target and normal tissues • Must have relatively low toxicity in the darkness • It should cause little or no photosensitivity to the patient's skin • It should have short-term drug intervals for patient and hospital convenience and minimize treatment costs • Must be suitable for use in vivo, in particular must not be mutagenic • For applications in photo sterilization, a good sensitizer should show a strong phototoxic effect on a wide range of microorganisms, ideally when using ambient light, and should not easily photobleach. In oncology, various types of photosensitizers have been used to treat both solid and thin tumors of hollow organs such as the esophagus and bladder. However, the use of these photosensitizers has been partially restricted due to the lack of selectivity between the tumor and the healthy tissue and partially due to the prolonged photosensitivity to the skin that may be caused. There is a need for new photosensitizers that cause little or no photosensitivity of the skin and that selectively destroy the tumor cells. Although PDT has been used previously in the treatment of tumors, it has not yet been used clinically against infections caused by bacteria and other microorganisms. The use of antibiotics has become challenging due to the increasing resistance of many bacterial species to commonly used antibiotics, such as tetracyclines and beta-lactams. Infections resistant to antibiotics acquired in hospitals such as MRSA are especially problematic. Antibacterial photodynamic treatment is a compromising alternative to antibiotics for local treatment. When antibacterial agents are developed, an important problem that must be overcome is the absorption of the drug in the bacterial cell. Gram-negative and gram-positive bacteria differ in the composition of their outer surface and respond differently to antimicrobial agents, especially in terms of absorption. Due to the high negatively charged surface of gram negative bacteria, they are relatively impervious to neutral or anionic drugs, which includes most of the photosensitizers used. The development of antimicrobial photosensitizers that are effective against gram-negative bacteria as well as gram-positive bacteria should be highly beneficial in replacing antibiotics with commonly used drugs that become increasingly infectious due to resistance. A number of different types of photosensitizer have been investigated in bacteria. These include phenothiazinium compounds, phthalocyanines, chlorines and photosensitizers that occur naturally. To be absorbed in gram negative bacteria, it is accepted that the cationic derivatives are the most effective.
The phenothiazinium compounds are blue dyes with maximum absorption at wavelengths between 600-700 nm. They have been studied for their non-photodynamic antibacterial properties but a few in addition to methylene blue and toluidine blue have been investigated photodynamically. Ainwright et al (1998) investigated the effect of a series of phenothiazinium methylene blue derivatives on tumor cell lines and bacteria. A new methylene blue (NMB) and dimethylmethylene blue (DMMB) were effective in inactivating MRSA and were shown to be more effective photosensitizers than methylene blue when acting on pigmented melanoma cell lines. Wagner et al (1998) studied these dyes and also a hydrophobic derivative for the inactivation of enveloped viruses. The precise mode of antibacterial action of methylene blue is unknown, but the hypothesis is that due to its stereochemistry it must be interspersed in DNA, and that photodynamic action causes DNA damage. It has been shown that methylene blue is ineffective as an antitumor agent. In addition, it is known that methylene blue is susceptible to photobleaching, which could be a serious drawback in some applications. Due to the recognized limitations of methylene blue both tumor PDT and antimicrobial PDT would benefit from the development of new photosensitizers based on phenothiazinium. The PCT application PCT / GB02 / 02278 discloses certain phenothiazinium compounds that are biologically active and suggests that in a series of N, N, N, N-tetra-n-C de-6 alkyl derivatives the tetra- n-Butyl is the most active with activity that decreases rapidly as the number of carbon atoms in the chain increases. Surprisingly, derivatives of additional phenothiazinium compounds which are biologically active and which are suitable for use as medicaments have now been found, particularly in the prevention of microbial infections and in the treatment of cancer and microbial infections. In accordance with the present invention, a phenothiazinium compound of the formula (I) is provided for use as an antimicrobial agent for the prevention of microbial infections:
) wherein: R1, R2, R3 and R4 are each independently an optionally substituted linear, branched or cyclic hydrocarbon group, or R1 and R2 or R3 and R4 together with the N atom to which they are attached form a ring of 5, 6 or 7 members optionally substituted; Xp- is a contranion; and P is 1, 2 or 3. For the prevention of wound infections, the wound site is sterilized and in this specification sterilization means a significant reduction in bacterial load, on, at or around a wound site that helps promote efficient wound healing and minimize the likelihood of infection of the wound. The use of the compounds of the formula (I) for the prevention of infection is preferably by PDT in which the compound is applied at a wound site followed by the application of light. Conventional antimicrobials suffer from the drawback that they have a short lifespan for the prevention of infection and need repeated applications, such as swab application, to maintain their effectiveness. The compounds of the formula (I) have improved properties on antimicrobial agents previously known and used because the prevention effect is prolonged and can be reactivated, as necessary, by additional application of light without the need to re-administer the compound . The site of the wound can be maintained in a sterile condition by continuous exposure to light of an appropriate length or by the intermittent use of light of an appropriate wavelength when necessary. According to a further aspect of the present invention, a phenothiazinium compound of the formula (II) is provided for use as an antiviral agent in which the compound of the formula (II) has the same structure as the compound of the formula ( I) but where R1, R2, R3 and R4 are each independently an optionally substituted linear, branched or cyclic hydrocarbon group, or R1 and R2 or R3 and R4 together with the N atom to which they are attached form a ring of 5, 6, or 7 members optionally substituted; Xp ~ is a contranion; and P is 1, 2 or 3. For use in the prevention of microbial infection and as antivirals wherein the straight and branched chain hydrocarbon groups represented by R 1, R 2, R 3 and R 4 preferably contain from 1 to 12 carbon atoms. In compounds in which the hydrocarbon groups represented by R 1, R 2, R 3 and R 4 are the same, it is preferred that each is linear or branched and that it contains 4 or 5 carbon atoms.

This latter approach has the advantage of the fact that the photosensitizer is more concentrated in tumors than in surrounding healthy tissue and when it is induced to fluoresce (by application of blue light), the tumor fluoresces more strongly than the surrounding tissue. Examples of application areas include diagnosis for oral diseases and for diseases of the bladder, lung and skin.

Spectral and physical properties of the phenothiazinium compounds The spectral data of the phenothiazinium compounds in methanol (Table 1) show that all compounds have absorption peaks in the 650-700 nm region, but that there is considerable variability in the peak position precise. Table 1
- Me, Et, Pr, Bu, Pent, Hex, Hept, Oct in the table above and throughout this specification represent methyl, ethyl, propyl, butyl, pentyl, hexyl, heptyl and octyl respectively, and that n- and i - indicate normal and iso alkyl chains respectively. Cancer treatment The compounds of the formula (I) were evaluated for PDT efficacy in murine fibrosarcoma RIF-1 cells in culture. The cells were incubated with the phenothiazinium for 1 hour, then washed 3 times with PBS and fresh culture medium was added. The cells were then illuminated with 18 J / cm2 (10mW / cm2) 665 nm of light by a diode laser. The toxicity in the dark was measured in parallel. The MTT test was used to evaluate cell viability 24 hours after treatment. The subcellular localization was also measured in RIF-1 cells after 1 hour of incubation with the phenothiazines by the use of fluorescence microscopy.
The location was measured before and after exposure to light. The sample data for these compounds are shown in table 2. Table 2 Phototoxicity, dark toxicity and subcellular localization of phenotiaziniums in RIF-1 cells
These data show that several asymmetric phenothiazinium derivatives (where R1 = R2? R3 = R4) have superior properties as photosensitizers to methylene blue, both in terms of absolute activity and in terms of the ratio of light to dark toxicity. In addition, unlike methylene blue, these compounds are excluded from the cell nucleus.
Antitumor efficacy in vivo Tumor destruction was evaluated in CBA / g mice that had subcutaneous CaNT tumors. The photosensitizer was administered intravenously at doses of up to 16.7 μmol / kg. The dose was reduced to 8.35 μmoles / kg if high levels of morbidity or mortality were observed or if the solubility was limited. At various times after the administration of the photosensitizer, the tumor was superficially illuminated with 60 J / cm2, 50 mW / cm2 of light from a Paterson lamp by using a 660 ± 15 nm filter. The drug-light ranges varied from Oh (in practice, 1-2 minutes) to 96 hours. 72 hours after illumination, a slice in cross section was removed from the center of the tumor parallel to the incident light, an image of it was captured and the macroscopic necrotic area was quantified by the use of image analysis software. The necrosis was expressed as% area of the total tumor slice. The% of tumor necrosis in control tumors was generally <10%. The antitumor activity was categorized: None, 0-10% of tumor necrosis, 11-39% of low tumor necrosis, 40-69% of mean tumor necrosis, 70-100% of high tumor necrosis. The antitumor activity at the optimal dose and drug-light ranges for each compound is shown in Table 4.
Due to the close proximity of the subcutaneous tumor to internal organs such as kidney and liver in mouse, damage to these organs is often observed after PDT in this model. Damage to internal organs after PDT was scored as shown in Table 3. Table 3 Rating system for damage to internal organs
The following compounds show relatively high antitumor activity without normal tissue damage (average score = 0). Tetrahexyl, dipentyldiethanol-amine. The following compounds showed relatively high antitumor activity with minimal normal tissue damage (average score <1): Tetraisobutyl, dihexyldipropyl, bismethyloctyl.

The present compounds have a number of advantages over currently available compounds such as Photofrin (trade name, Axcan Pharma PDT Inc) and Fosean (trade name, Bioscience Technology Investment Holdings Limited). For example, the compounds of the present invention are individual isomer-free compounds produced by relatively simple procedures, wherein Photofrin is a complex mixture of porphyrin derivatives. A range of short-term drug administration is desirable both in terms of patient convenience and time in the hospital during treatment and associated costs. Photofrin requires a range of long-term drug administration, typically 48 hours, since unacceptable damage to normal tissues surrounding the tumor occurs at short drug-to-light intervals. The compounds of the present invention are active at short drug-light intervals without any damage to normal tissue surrounding the tumor. For example, the dibutyldipropyl derivative causes 98% tumor necrosis where illumination is immediately after administration. The comparison of damage to the skin that is above the tumor (evaluated by scab formation) shows that with all the compounds present no scab formation is observed in any drug-to-light interval while Photofrin gave up to 25% scab at short drug intervals (0 - 3 hours), drug-to-light intervals longer than 48 hours did not give scab formation but tumor necrosis was only 50%. For another compound available, Fosean, there is a delay of 4 days, to allow time for accumulation of cancer cells, between injection into the bloodstream and activation with laser light. The administration of Fosean results in patients becoming more sensitive to light, with a sensitivity period of approximately 15 days. Photoantimicrobial activity 1) General methods Method for microbial bacterial photoinactivation experiment a) Standard preparation of photosensitizers Stock solutions of the photosensitizers were made up to 5 mM in dimethyl sulfoxide
(DMSO). The 5 mM supply was further diluted in
DMSO at a working concentration of 1 mM. All photosensitizers were stored in jars covered with aluminum at room temperature until required. b) Standard preparation of microorganisms The standard protocol outlined below was modified as appropriate to study the variation of some experimental parameters.
A single bacterial colony from an agar plate was used to aseptically inoculate 100 ml of nutrient medium (0.5% yeast extract: 1.0% tritone p / v) in a 1 liter conical flask. For C. albicans, a single fungal colony was used to inoculate 100 ml of sabouraud dextrose medium in a 1 liter conical flask. The culture was incubated in an incubator with shaking overnight, at 37 ° C. The incubator was set at 250 strokes per minute and a rotating movement of 2.5 cm in a circle. This culture was used for stationary phase experiments. For bacterial log phase experiments, the overnight culture was used to inoculate 200 ml of nutrient medium (in a 2 liter bevelled flask), for C. albicans 200 ml of sabouraud dextrose medium were inoculated, both were at a density from 0.1 to 600 nm. The microorganisms were grown until they were in the mid logarithmic phase and then harvested and resuspended. c) Preparation of microorganisms for PDT The cells of the log or stationary phase were collected by centrifugation and washed twice in the pH buffer of 0.1 M potassium phosphate (pH 7.0). After washing, the cells were resuspended in the same pH regulator at an absorbance of 0.87 at 650 nm. This absorbance was equivalent to 3.5 x 108 CFU / ml or 8.5 logioCFU / ml for E. coli, S. aureus, MRSA and P. aeruginosa. For C. albicans this was correlated with 1.0 x 107 CFU / ml or 7.0 logioCFU / ml. For photoinactivation of E. coli cells in the medium, the bacteria were resuspended in nutrient medium at this stage. Photoinctivation experiments of microbial cells Standard incubation with photosensitizer 25 ml of the prepared cell suspension was incubated with 0.25 ml of a 1 mM supply of photosensitizer (which gave a final concentration of 10 μM) in a conical flask covered with sterile aluminum of 250 ml. The suspension was incubated for 30 minutes in the dark and in an incubator with shaking at 37 ° C at 250 rpm. Illumination from a white light source After incubation with 10 μM phenothiazinium compound, the suspension was irradiated with a 500W halogen lamp, from a distance of 75 cm, for 60 minutes, the lamp power was 1.3mW / cm2 which gave 4.68J / cm2 during one hour of illumination. Illumination of a 665nm laser After incubation with phenothiazinium compound
μM, 10 ml of the bacterial culture were transferred aseptically to a sterile cell. This consisted of a sealed bottle with a sealed capillary tube inserted, in which the optical fiber could be placed. The illumination was carried out with a Ceram Optec diode laser (665 nm) that used an optical fiber with a diffusion tip of 3 cm, at 100 m. For experiments comparing the series of phenothiazinium compounds in E. coli, the samples were illuminated for 4 minutes. This was equal to a creep rate of 5.3 mW / cm2 which assumes that the lit cylinder area was 18.86 cm2. After 4 minutes of illumination, the total creep was 1.3 J / cm2. Other experiments used illumination for 10 minutes and samples of 50 μl were removed for CFU analysis after 0, 1, 2, 4, 8 and 10 minutes of illumination. These lighting times are equivalent to the following fluences respectively: 0 J / cm2; 0.32 J / cm2; 0.64 J / cm2; 1.3 J / cm2; 2.5 J / cm2 or 3.2 J / cm2. Traces of oxygen electrode showed that oxygen was not limiting during the period of illumination. For experiments comparing the effect of tetra-n-pentyl-3,7-diaminophenothiazin-5-io compound on different bacteria, the illumination used the laser preparation but for 10 minutes which gave a light dose of 3.2J / cm2. The dose of light was also used for experiments comparing compounds 17-29. The results are tabulated above in Table 4. Analysis of bacteria and yeast survival 50 ml of the illuminated and unenlightened samples of the suspension were removed and diluted in pH buffer of 0.1 M potassium phosphate at pH 7.0. 50 μl of the diluted suspension was placed on plates then on nutrient agar (0.5% yeast extract, 1.0% tryptone, 2.0% w / v agar) for bacteria, a sabouraud dextrose agar for C. albicans. Plates were incubated overnight at 37 ° C to give a number of colony forming units between 30-300. The inactivation of cells was then measured. Control studies involving the condition of bacteria before and after the 30 minute incubation step without phenothiazinium compound but with 0.25 ml DMSO showed no change in CFU / ml. Illumination of the bacterial culture alone without phenothiazinium compound but with 0.25 ml of DMSO also showed that there was no change in CFU. For illumination in a nutrient medium, the control tests showed an increase of log? 0 in CFU / ml of 0.2 during one hour of illumination. Determination of the effect of phenothiazinium compound on the growth of bacterial cells 200 ml of nutrient medium (0.5% yeast extract, 1.0% tryptone w / v) in aluminum-covered 250 ml conical flasks were aseptically incubated with 10 ml of fully grown bacterial culture (E. coli). In addition, the medium contained 1.0 ml of a lmM supply solution of phenothiazinium compounds with a final concentration of 10 μM, in addition to the control containing no phenothiazinium but 1.0 ml of DMSO. The suspension was incubated at 37 ° C and 250 rpm in an incubator with shaking in the dark. Samples of 1 ml were taken every hour for 6 hours and turbidity was measured based on apparent optical density at 550 nm caused by light scattering. Control studies show that this wavelength is outside the region of photosensitizer absorption. Following the optical density readings, the 1.0 ml sample was shaken in a MSE Micro-Centaur centrifuge (10,000 g x 5 minutes) and the absorbance spectra of the supernatant were read spectrophotometrically. For the tetra-n-butyl derivative alone, similar experiments were carried out wherein the bacteria were allowed to grow without photosensitizer for 3 hours, after which the phenothiazinium compounds were added. Subsequent growth was monitored as a function of time, both for exposure to light and in darkness. Absorption of photosensitizers in E. coli After incubation of bacteria with photosensitizer, 2 ml of the unenlightened bacterial culture were pelleted by the use of a Benchtop Centaur 5 centrifuge (1500 g x 10 min). The bacterial pellet was washed twice with 0.1 M potassium phosphate pH buffer (pH 7.0) to remove extracellular photosensitizer and loosely bound. Finally, the tablet was resuspended and vortexed in 1 ml of 0.1 M NaOH, 2% (w / v) SDS and left at room temperature, in the dark, for at least 24 hours. The fluorescence readings were taken by using the Kontron SFM-25 spectrofluorimeter. The concentration of phenothiazinium compound in the cellular samples was determined from the interpolation of the standard curves. Photobleaching 0.25 ml of a 1 mM solution of photosensitizer, 0.25 ml of 10 mM tryptophan was added to 25 ml of pH regulator of 60% methanol, 40% potassium phosphate (pH 7.0). The experiments were also carried out in the absence of tryptophan where it was replaced by 0.25 ml of the pH regulator of 60% methanol, 40% potassium phosphate (pH 7.0). The mixture was illuminated as in the previous cell inactivation experiments (1.3 m / cm2) for 60 minutes, the samples were taken every 15 minutes and the spectra were recorded on a UV-Visible spectrophotometer between 500 nm and 700 nm. For high light doses, the illumination was at 9mW / cm2 for 60 minutes. Results Antibacterial properties of phenothiazinium derivatives Many antibiotics are only poorly effective against bacteria that are not growing or are stationary and it is important to evaluate the ability of phenothiazinium compounds to inactivate bacteria in the stationary phase. During a stationary period, the cell has a thicker peptidoglycan cell wall and differences in protein metabolism and therefore may be less susceptible to photodynamic effect. The inactivation of bacteria can be more challenging in a therapeutic environment because the sensitizer can preferably bind to extracellular proteins rather than the bacterial lipopolysaccharide membrane. This was proven by resuspending the bacteria in nutrient medium containing many factors that can compete with bacterial cells for photosensitizer binding. The potential advantages of a laser source are increased precision of light doses and shorter lighting times. The absorption of the photosensitizers in bacterial cells is clearly important to determine the photoactivity. S. aureus is a gram-positive organism that differs from gram-negative organisms in that it has a thick external peptidoglycan layer and has no external lipopolysaccharide. The bacterial structure is the same as in MRSA (S. aureus resistant to methicillin) that is resistant to almost all antibiotics used. The data show that after only 1 minute of illumination almost 99% of the bacteria are inactivated and that after 10 minutes there are almost 5 logs of dead cells, which illustrates the very high photoactivity of tetra-n-butyl derivative against these gram positive organisms. It is important to determine if the photosensitizer would also be the active compound against the antibiotic-resistant form, MRSA, that this would have important industrial and health applications. Antifungal properties of phenothiazinium derivatives To test the ability of the compounds of the formula (I) to kill fungal cells in the light, the photosensitizer was incubated with Candida albicans cells and the culture was subjected to a laser light as described before. The photosensitizer is therefore also highly photoactive against this fungal organism which is responsible for many common infections, eg, canker sores. Selectivity for bacterial cells versus mammalian tissues It is clearly important for therapeutic purposes that there is minimal damage to host tissues as long as the microorganisms are destroyed. This was tested by applying a solution of the compound of the formula (I) to the ears of experimental mice and illuminating, under conditions in which the total dose was almost 20 times that required for the elimination of bacteria or fungi. These possible effects on the tissue of the host were evaluated by measuring any increase in the thickness of the ear. This is a standard model for detecting photodynamic reactions in the skin. The comparison with results for intravenous administration of PHP, a drug equivalent of Photofrin that is known to cause prolonged skin reaction. The PHP reaction is very strong, as expected, there is little or no reaction of the compound of the formula (I), which suggests that the tissues of the mammal are not damaged during the antimicrobial treatment. Photobleaching, photobleaching removes the detectable color of the photosensitizer, making it inactive and is the result of instability to light and reduction or oxidation. Photobleaching can have advantages or disadvantages depending on the potential application. For example, photobleaching is undesirable in the lining of lines and catheters. Two sets of experiments were carried out; one at a high light dose (9.0 mW / cm2) and one at a low light dose (1.3 mW / cm2) with and without tryptophan as described above. The absorption aspects at high light doses, with and without tryptophan, did not show changes for any of the phenothiazinium compounds, which shows that they are stable at this dose. At the high light dose, the spectrum changes were observed for methylene blue, which indicates photobleaching. The maximum absorbance decreased and the peak wavelength changed during one hour of illumination. These changes occurred to the same degree with and without tryptophan. However, none of the other phenothiazinium compounds showed this degradation and remained stable to photobleaching at high light doses. The antibacterial properties to tetra-n-pentyl-3, 7-diaminophenothiazine-5-io are tabulated below in Table 6. Table 6 Photoxnactivation of bacteria and yeasts in the log and stationary growth phase, after incubation with 10 μM of photosensitizer and illumination with 665 nm of laser light at a creep rate of 3.2 J / cm2
The data in the previous table show the log reduction in CFU / ml of bacteria or yeast incubated with 10 μM of photosensitizer, and illuminated by using 665 nm of laser for 10 minutes, at a fluence of 3.2 J / cm2. The susceptibility of bacteria to PDT mediated by phenothiazinium may depend on whether the batteries are gram-positive or gram-negative. Gram-positive bacteria (S. aureus, MRSA) have a highly interlaced peptidoglycan cell wall approximately 25 nm thick. Gram-negative bacteria (E. coli, P. aeruginosa) have a thinner cell wall of 5 nm and a single outer membrane of lipopolysaccharide. The presence of the outer membrane gives an increased resistance of gram negative bacteria to many antibacterial agents. After illumination, the tetra-n-pentyl-3,7-diaminophenothiazine-5-io compound led to reduction of > 3 log in CFU / ml for the log phase, gram negative bacteria (E. coli, P. aeruginosa) and gram positive bacteria (S. aureus, MRSA). Many antibiotics have a low activity against bacteria in the stationary growth phase. The bacteria in the two growth phases differ in their physiology and morphology. Stationary phase cells are less active and more resistant to environmental stress, therefore, they can be resistant to PDT mediated by phenothiazinium. The above table shows that the effectiveness of the tetra-n-pentyl-3,7-diaminophenothiazin-5-io compound is only slightly reduced against cells in stationary phase compared to the log phase cells. MRSA, an antibiotic-resistant S aureus strain is a major cause of nosocomial infection. MRSA and S. aureus are equally susceptible to antimicrobial PDT mediated by tetra-n-pentyl-3,7-diaminophenothiazin-5-io compound. There was a logarithmic reduction of 3.80 log? 0CFU / ml with the use of the tetra-n-pentyl-3,7-diaminophenothiazin-5-io compound against MRSA in log phase. Ames test The Ames test was carried out (with the use of a Discovery Partners International team) in mixed strains of S. typhimurium (TA7001, TA7002, TA7003, TA7004, TA7005 and TA7006) that detect mutagen replacement pairs of bases in both GC and AT sites, and the TA98 strain that detects frame change mutagens (Gee et al, Proc Nati Acad Sci, 91, 11606-11610, 1994). Approximately 107 bacteria in the medium containing enough histidine for 2 cell divisions were incubated (in triplicate) at 37 ° C, 250 rpm for 90 minutes with 6 concentrations of the test agent, solvent control and positive control. Incubations were carried out under light and dark conditions and with and without metabolic activation with rat liver extract S9 (4.5%). The light source was a bank of seven Sylvania Grolux 30 W light bulbs. A 2-fold dilution series of the test agent was used at the higher concentration which was a toxic concentration (i.e., a concentration causing a visible reduction). in the number of cells of a preselection) or the maximum soluble concentration. In the absence of S9, the positive control was a mixture of 4-nitroquinoline N-oxide (500 ng / ml) and 2-nitrofluorene (2 μg / ml). In the presence of S9, the positive control was 2-aminoanthracene (10 μg / ml). After incubation for 90 minutes, the bacteria were diluted with a pH indicator medium lacking histidine and transferred to 384-well plates to give 48 wells by concentration in triplicate. The plates were incubated at 37 ° C for 48 hours, then the positive wells (wells in which the growth of reverse mutants his + had reduced the pH, which produced a color change from purple to yellow) were counted. The results were expressed as positive wells by 48 (mean ± SD). A positive response was defined as an increase related to the concentration in the number of positive wells and a significant increase in the number of positive wells at one or more concentrations of test agent compared to negative control, with statistical significance assessed by the use of a two-tailed Student's t test. The degree of the responses was evaluated by calculating the number of times of increase in the background mutation rate to the optimal test agent concentration (with an increase in number of times of <; 10 classified as a weak positive response). In mixed strains, all compounds tested were negative and all four conditions (± light, ± S9). In strain TA98, all compounds tested were negative in the absence of S9 (± light). In the presence of S9 (± light), some compounds showed a positive response in the TA98 strain, indicating that they are metabolically activated to a framework change mutagen (intercalator). The results in strain TA98 (± s), -light) are shown in table 4 above. Compounds of the formula (I) suitable for inclusion in polymers or bonding to, or absorption on, polymer surfaces (a) Inclusion within polymers Example This can be illustrated by adding 0.01 g of a compound of the formula (V), such as 3, 7- (N, N-tetra-iso-butylamino) -phenothiazin-5-io, to a clear solution of cellulose triacetate (0.5 g) in dichloromethane (10 cm3) and stirring until the compound is dissolves completely. The pouring of the solution onto a glass plate and drying slowly gives a clear film. The film shows typical singlet oxygen generation properties by exposing to light for example an angry red solution of tetraphenylcyclopentadienone (a characteristic singlet oxygen detector) in toluene containing the film is quickly bleached by being exposed to light from a lamp of 40 w tungsten filament. An identical solution did not show bleaching when irradiated during the same period in the absence of the film. (b) Adsorption on polymers This can be illustrated by a phenothiazinium compound (la) which can be made in accordance with the following reaction scheme:
in which both groups R = n-pentyl. The compound will be extremely basic and easily protonated in dilute acids to give (Ha) below, which could be strongly adsorbed onto polymeric surfaces, e.g., polyamides, polyacrylates, polyesters, polycarbonates, polyurethanes, and strongly weathered removal by water or solvents. Alternatively, it could be adsorbed directly onto acidic surfaces to give their corresponding cationic salts directly.
