    Description

    Temoporfin (m-THPC), a reduced porphyrin, is a potent second-generation photosensitizer. Temoporfin can be used in the research of photodynamic therapy (PDT) for head and neck cancers[1][2][3].

    In Vitro

    A detailed confocal fluorescence microscopy study of a human adenocarcinoma shows weak localization of Temoporfin in lysosomes and mitochondria. Instead, it is found to be localized in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and the Golgi apparatus[1].

    MCE has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.

    In Vivo

    Temoporfin in liver tissue decreases rapidly in time after initial high levels at 4 h after administration (0.1-0.3 mg/kg). In tumour tissue no decrease in photosensitizer levels occurred, with Temoporfin remaining high up to 48 h after administration[2].

    MCE has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.

    Help & FAQs
    • Do most proteins show cross-species activity?

      Species cross-reactivity must be investigated individually for each product. Many human cytokines will produce a nice response in mouse cell lines, and many mouse proteins will show activity on human cells. Other proteins may have a lower specific activity when used in the opposite species.
