PropertyValue
?:definition
  • A synthetic purpurin with photosensitizing activity. Rostaporfin preferentially accumulates in tumor cells due to an increased rate of metabolism. Upon exposure to a light source, this agent absorbs light, forming an extended high energy conformational state that produces high quantum yields of singlet oxygen with local cytotoxic effects. Check for \'https://www.cancer.gov/about-cancer/treatment/clinical-trials/intervention/C1255\' active clinical trials using this agent.
