The photolysis of rabbit red blood cells induced by several photosensitizers has been studied. Membrane photohemolysis was found to be dependent on light dose (J/cm2) for hematoporphyrin (HP), methylene blue (MB) and toluidine blue (TB). No significant hemolysis was detected when mesotetra (4N-methylpyridyl) porphine (T4MPyP) plus light was used. Sodium azide inhibited, whereas deuterium oxide potentiated membrane lysis with HP, MB and TB. In the case of T4MPyP no differences were observed when using sodium azide or deuterium oxide.

D008027 Light That portion of the electromagnetic spectrum in the visible, ultraviolet, and infrared range. Light, Visible,Photoradiation,Radiation, Visible,Visible Radiation,Photoradiations,Radiations, Visible,Visible Light,Visible Radiations
D008652 Mesoporphyrins Porphyrins with four methyl, two ethyl, and two propionic acid side chains attached to the pyrrole rings.
D008751 Methylene Blue A compound consisting of dark green crystals or crystalline powder, having a bronze-like luster. Solutions in water or alcohol have a deep blue color. Methylene blue is used as a bacteriologic stain and as an indicator. It inhibits GUANYLATE CYCLASE, and has been used to treat cyanide poisoning and to lower levels of METHEMOGLOBIN.

D010782 Photolysis Chemical bond cleavage reactions resulting from absorption of radiant energy. Photodegradation
D011166 Porphyrins A group of compounds containing the porphin structure, four pyrrole rings connected by methine bridges in a cyclic configuration to which a variety of side chains are attached. The nature of the side chain is indicated by a prefix, as uroporphyrin, hematoporphyrin, etc. The porphyrins, in combination with iron, form the heme component in biologically significant compounds such as hemoglobin and myoglobin. Porphyrin
D011817 Rabbits A burrowing plant-eating mammal with hind limbs that are longer than its fore limbs. It belongs to the family Leporidae of the order Lagomorpha, and in contrast to hares, possesses 22 instead of 24 pairs of chromosomes.

D006415 Hematoporphyrins Iron-free derivatives of heme with 4 methyl groups, 2 hydroxyethyl groups and 2 propionic acid groups attached to the pyrrole rings. Some of these PHOTOSENSITIZING AGENTS are used in the PHOTOTHERAPY of malignant NEOPLASMS. Haematoporphyrin IX,Hematoporphyrin,Hemedonin
D006454 Hemoglobins The oxygen-carrying proteins of ERYTHROCYTES. They are found in all vertebrates and some invertebrates. The number of globin subunits in the hemoglobin quaternary structure differs between species. Structures range from monomeric to a variety of multimeric arrangements.
