The oral hypoglycemic drugs carbutamide, chlorpropamide, glibenclamide, glubornuride, gliclazide, glipizide, gliquidone, glisoxepide, glymidine, tolazamide and tolbutamide, and the diuretics acetazolamide, bemetizide, bendroflumethiazide, benzthiazide, benzylhydrochlorothiazide, bumetanide, butizide, chlorazanile, chlorothiazide, chlortalidone, clopamide, cyclopenthiazide, cyclothiazide, diazoxide, etozoline, furosemide, hydrochlorothiazide, hydroflumethiazide, indapamide, mefruside, metolazone, piretanide, polythiazide, trichlormethiazide, and xipamide were investigated for photohemolytic properties in vitro. Irradiation with a SOL 3 apparatus (solar simulating irradiation) revealed hemolysis in the presence of five oral hypoglycemic agents and in the presence of 19 out of the 25 tested diuretics. Photohemolysis was induced in the presence of three substances, respectively, after exposure to UVA or visible light. UVB alone did not induce phototoxic hemolysis in the presence of the tested drugs. Compared to clinical reports on photosensitivity reactions, the photohemolysis model seems a good predictive model in recognizing potential photosensitizing sulfonamides.

Novel unsymmetrically substituted Zn(II) phthalocyanine bearing an adamantylethoxy group (AZnPc) was synthesized by the ring expansion reaction of boron(III) subphthalocyanine chloride with an appropriated phthalonitrile derivative (APc). Also, APc was used to obtain a new Zn(II) phthalocyanine bearing four adamantylethoxy groups (A(4)ZnPc) by cyclotetramerization reaction. The spectroscopic and photodynamic properties of these photosensitizers were compared with those of a Zn(II) phthalocyanine substituted by four methoxy groups (M(4)ZnPc) in different media.

The in vitro antioxidant and photo-oxidant activity of dipyridamole was studied by its effect on superoxide- and singlet oxygen-mediated photohemolysis and viability of neutrophils. Dipyridamole was found to be phototoxic when examined by the photohemolysis on human erythrocytes and on linoleic acid as lipid peroxidation model at concentrations above 3.0 x 10(-5) M.

The photodegradation products of hydrochlorothiazide produced by ultraviolet (UV) radiation were investigated for their phototoxicity utilizing the photohemolysis and Candida albicans tests. Hydrochlorothiazide was irradiated for 30, 60, 90 and 120 min with a 250 W xenon arc lamp using a WG295 cut-off filter. Irradiation of hydrochlorothiazide resulted in the gradual decrease of all three absorption bands (225, 270 and 320 nm), the blue shift of the 225 nm band, and the appearance of a new band around 290 nm.

The photodegradation process of the phototoxic diuretic drug chlorthalidone was studied. The products of its photolysis under UV-B were isolated and identified. Chlorthalidone was found to be active when examined by photohemolysis on human erythrocytes, but not in the presence of the isolated photoproducts.

The phototoxic diuretic drug furosemide (1), a 5-(aminosulfonyl)-4-chloro-2-[(2-furanylmethyl)-amino] benzoic acid is photolabile under aerobic and anaerobic conditions. Irradiation of a methanol solution of 1 under oxygen produces photoproducts 2, 3, 4 and singlet oxygen, while under argon the photoproducts 2 and 4 were isolated. A peroxidic unstable photoproduct was detected during the photolysis under oxygen atmosphere.
