Protoporphyrin IX disodium

Overview

Protoporphyrin IX disodium is a final intermediate in the heme biosynthetic pathway, which acts as a radiation sensitizer enhancing ROS generation even in a hypoxic state and inducing DNA damage. Protoporphyrin IX disodium also acts as a photo sensitizer undergoing photobleaching that occurs through direct degradation by light irradiation. Protoporphyrin IX disodium is formed and accumulated following 5-aminolevulinic acid (5-ALA) ( HY-W000450 ) administration in the tumor cells of rats. Protoporphyrin IX disodium causes selective improvement of basal cell carcinoma when activated red fluorescence of a peak wavelength at 405 nm. Protoporphyrin IX disodium is promising for research of sonodynamic and photodynamic agents for a wide range of cancers, such as bladder cancer and nodular basal cell carcinoma.
