Product Data Sheet
Protoporphyrin IX (disodium)
Catalog No. A71827
Protoporphyrin IX (disodium) is a key metabolite in the heme biosynthetic pathway, functioning primarily as a radiation sensitizer. It enhances the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) even under hypoxic conditions, thereby inducing DNA damage. This compound also serves as a photosensitizer, undergoing photodegradation when exposed to light. Notably, Protoporphyrin IX (disodium) accumulates in tumor cells following administration of 5-aminolevulinic acid (5-ALA) and demonstrates selective efficacy against basal cell carcinoma when activated at a wavelength of 405 nm. Its properties make it a valuable candidate for research into sonodynamic and photodynamic therapies for various cancers, including bladder cancer.
