Localization of tumors during laparoscopic surgery is generally performed by locally injecting India ink into the submucosal layer of the gastrointestinal tract using endoscopy. However, the location of the tumor is obscured because of the black-stained surgical field and the blurring caused by India ink. To solve this problem, in this study, we developed a tissue-adhesive porphyrin with polycations consisting of quaternary ammonium salt groups. To evaluate the ability of tissue-adhesive porphyrin in vivo, low-molecular-weight hematoporphyrin and tissue-adhesive porphyrin were injected into the anterior wall of the exposed stomach in rats. Local injection of low-molecular-weight hematoporphyrin into the anterior wall of the stomach was not visible even after 1 day because of its rapid diffusion. In contrast, the red fluorescence of the tissue-adhesive porphyrin was visible even after 7 days due to the electrostatic interactions between the positively-charged moieties of the polycation in the tissue-adhesive porphyrin and the negatively-charged molecules in the tissue. In addition, intraperitoneal injection of tissue-adhesive porphyrin in rats did not cause adverse effects such as weight loss, hepatic or renal dysfunction, or organ adhesion in the abdominal cavity. These results indicate that tissue-adhesive porphyrin is a promising fluorescent tissue-marking agent.
