    HPLC-FLD methods to quantify chloroaluminum phthalocyanine in nanoparticles, plasma and tissue : application in pharmacokinetic and biodistribution studies.
    (2011) Oliveira, Liliam Teixeira; Garcia, Giani Martins; Kano, Eunice Kazue; Tedesco, Antônio Cláudio; Mosqueira, Vanessa Carla Furtado
    Analytical and bioanalytical methods of high-performance liquid chromatography with fluorescence detection (HPLC-FLD) were developed and validated for the determination of chloroaluminum phthalocyanine in different formulations of polymeric nanocapsules, plasma and livers of mice. Plasma and homogenized liver samples were extracted with ethyl acetate, and zinc phthalocyanine was used as internal standard. The results indicated that the methods were linear and selective for all matrices studied. Analysis of accuracy and precision showed adequate values, with variations lower than 10% in biological samples and lower than 2% in analytical samples. The recoveries were as high as 96% and 99% in the plasma and livers, respectively. The quantification limit of the analytical method was 1.12 ng/ml, and the limits of quantification of the bioanalytical method were 15 ng/ml and 75 ng/g for plasma and liver samples, respectively. The bioanalytical method developed was sensitive in the ranges of 15–100 ng/ml in plasma and 75–500 ng/g in liver samples and was applied to studies of biodistribution and pharmacokinetics of AlClPc.

    Chloroaluminium phthalocyanine polymeric nanoparticles as photosensitisers : photophysical and physicochemical characterisation, release and phototoxicity in vitro.
    (2013) Paula, Carina Silva de; Tedesco, Antônio Cláudio; Lucas Primo, Fernando; Vilela, José Mário Carneiro; Andrade, Margareth Spangler; Mosqueira, Vanessa Carla Furtado
    Nanoparticles of poly(D,L-lactide-co-glycolide), poly(D,L-lactide) and polyethylene glycol-blockpoly (D,L-lactide) were developed to encapsulate chloroaluminium phthalocyanine (AlClPc), a new hydrophobic photosensitiser used in photodynamic therapy (PDT). The mean nanoparticle size varied from 115 to 274 nm, and the encapsulation efficiency ranged from 57% to 96% due to drug precipitation induced by different types of polymer. All nanoparticle formulations presented negative zeta potential values (–37 mV to –59 mV), explaining their colloidal stability. The characteristic photophysical parameters were analysed: the absorption spectrum profile, fluorescence quantum yield and transient absorbance decay, with similar values for free and nanoparticles of AlClPc. The time-resolved spectroscopy measurements for AlClPc triplet excited state lifetimes indicate that encapsulation in nanocapsules increases triplet lifetime, which is advantageous for PDT efficiency. A sustained release profile over 168 h was obtained using external sink method. An in vitro phototoxic effect higher than 80% was observed in human fibroblasts at low laser light doses (3 J/cm2) with 10 lM of AlClPc. The AlClPc loaded within polymeric nanocapsules presented suitable physical stability, improved photophysical properties, sustained released profile and suitable activity in vitro to be considered a promising formulation for PDT.
