title: [Aggravation by halomethanes of damages in isolated erythrocyte membranes photosensitized by porphyrins].
abstract: It was found that halogen methanes (CCl4, CHBr3) enhance the destruction of protein tryptophanyls and lipid peroxidation photosensitized by Zn-tetraphenylporphin and Zn-tetramethylpyridylporphyrin in isolated erythrocyte membranes. It was shown that this effect is due to photoinduced electron transport from Zn-porphyrins to halogen methanes with the formation of highly reactive halogenmethyl radicals. The hydrophilic Zn-tetramethylpyridylporphyrin is more active at the photosensition of damage to membrane proteins, whereas the hydrophobic Zn-tetraphenylporphin is more effective in lipid peroxidation.
