Abstract. The potential of the pharmaceutical composition “Fluroscan”, based on the dipotassium salt of the Yb complex of 2,4-di(α-methoxyethyl)deuteroporphyrin IX, for IR luminescence diagnostics and theranostics of skin toxicity in the form of rosacea-like dermatitis is demonstrated. The prototype of a fiber-optic laser fluorimeter (developed in the V.A. Kotelnikov Institute of Radioelectronics RAS) operating in the spectral range of 900-1100 nm at an optical power of up to 10 mW was used for IR luminescence diagnostics and treatment monitoring. Patients were treated using a SOR Internacional S.A. irradiation lamp in the red spectral range (620-640 nm). It was found that a decrease in luminescence intensity after a therapy course indicated a decrease in metabolic activity and confirmed the effectiveness of the treatment.
Key words: 2,4-di(α-methoxyethyl)deuteroporphyrin IX, laser-fiber fluorimeter, Fluroscan gel, photodynamic therapy, theranostics, IR luminescent diagnostics.
Financing: The work was carried out according to the State Assignment of the Kotelnikov IRE RAS.
