Protoporphyrin IX is an endogenous metabolite and a potent cancer inhibitor, functioning primarily as a radiation sensitizer. It enhances reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation, even under hypoxic conditions, leading to increased DNA damage. As a photosensitizer, Protoporphyrin IX undergoes photobleaching upon light exposure, facilitating targeted cancer therapies. Research indicates its efficacy in treating basal cell carcinoma and offers promise for sonodynamic and photodynamic applications in various cancers, including bladder cancer.
