Abstract
Abstract A group of hydro-dibenzoporphyrins prepared by di-Diels-Alder additions at the A and C rings of the appropriate divinyl porphyrins have absorption maxima in the range of 700-820 nanometers and are photosensitizing agents. These compounds are useful in treating disorders or conditions which are subject to hematoporphyrin derivative (HPD) treatment in the presence of light, or in treating biological materials generally to destroy unwanted targets such as viruses, cells and tissues. The use of the compounds of the invention permits irradiation with wavelengths other than those absorbed by blood. The compounds of the invention may also be conjugated to ligands specific for receptors or to specific immunoglobulins or fragments thereof to home to target tissues or cells for the radiation treatment. Use of these materials permits lower levels of photosensitizer to be used, thus preventing side reactions which might destroy normal tissues.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 5
Claim 1
Independent Claim
162 words
A method to detect, photosensitize, destroy or impair the functioning of target biological material, which comprises: a. contacting said target with an effective amount of a composition having a light absorption maximum between 700-820 nm, and b. irradiating said target with light that excites said composition; wherein the composition comprises a compound selected from the group consisting of the structures 1-1 through 1-6 shown below or mixtures thereof, ##STR9## wherein at least one of R 1 and R 2 is selected from the group consisting of carbalkoxy (2-6C); aryl (6-10C); alkyl (1-6C) or aryl (6-10C) sulfonyl; cyano; and --CONR 5 CO--, wherein R 5 is aryl (6-10C) or alkyl (1-6C); the other R 1 and R 2 is selected from the group consisting of the aforesaid substituents and H; and each R 3 and R 4 is independently selected from the group consisting of substituted or unsubstituted alkyl (1-6C); and substituted or unsubstituted omega-carboxyalkyl (2-6C) and the esters, amides, and salts thereof.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
162 words
A method to detect, photosensitize, destroy or impair the functioning of target biological material, which comprises: a. contacting said target with an effective amount of a composition having a light absorption maximum between 700-820 nm, and b. irradiating said target with light that excites said composition; wherein the composition comprises a compound selected from the group consisting of the structures 1-1 through 1-6 shown below or mixtures thereof, ##STR9## wherein at least one of R 1 and R 2 is selected from the group consisting of carbalkoxy (2-6C); aryl (6-10C); alkyl (1-6C) or aryl (6-10C) sulfonyl; cyano; and --CONR 5 CO--, wherein R 5 is aryl (6-10C) or alkyl (1-6C); the other R 1 and R 2 is selected from the group consisting of the aforesaid substituents and H; and each R 3 and R 4 is independently selected from the group consisting of substituted or unsubstituted alkyl (1-6C); and substituted or unsubstituted omega-carboxyalkyl (2-6C) and the esters, amides, and salts thereof.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
54 words
A method to detect or impair the metabolism of or to effect the destruction of target virus, cells, or tissues which comprises contacting said target with an effective amount of the compound of claim 1, or a pharmaceutical composition thereof, and irradiating the contacted virus, cells, or tissues with light which excites said composition.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
63 words
A method to detect a target virus, cell or tissue in vivo, which comprises: a. administering to a subject harboring said target an effective amount of a composition having a light absorption maximum between 700-820 nm, wherein the composition comprises the compound of claim 6; b. irradiating said target with light that excites said composition; and c. detecting the location of said composition.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
12 words
The method of claim 3 wherein the composition further contains a label.
