The application of C-TAB for excitation propagation
photocontrol in cardiac tissue.

Introduction
Photocontrol allows to precisely
affect excitation propagation by
light with help of special
photosensitive molecules.
Recently a novel photosensitive
substance C-TAB was developed.
The aim of the present work was
to investigate the action of C-TAB
on the excitability of cardiac tissue.

propagation speed (UV exposure power 5 mW/sm²;
trans- form is present in media). For 15 uM propagation
stopped after 1 minute of exposure, for 10 uM after 3
minutes, for 5 uM after more than 10 minutes.

Fig. 5 Restoration of excitation propagation after 48
hours. Fluorescence intensity diagrams of Ca2+ sensitive
dye show every propagation cycle as a peak. The half of
the culture with 50 uM C-TAB in media was exposed by 5
mW/sm ² UV for 1 minute than examined for excitation
propagation in next 48 hours. Exposed zone stayed
inactive for at least 20 hours and partly restored
propagation in 48 hours.
The citotoxicity of C-TAB was discovered to be 10 times less than for Azo-TAB. The blocking concentration
for trans-C-TAB was estimated as 30 uM and for lower concentration than that the possibility of
photocontrol before wash out was demonstrated. The photo ablation process with wash out was
introduced for concentrations higher than 30 uM.
