Descripción

Temoporfin is a photodynamic agent that is activated by light of wavelengths from 630-680 nm. It binds to DNA, which causes the release of reactive oxygen species and the production of singlet oxygen. Temoporfin has been shown to be cytotoxic in cancerous cells but not normal cells. It also has significant cytotoxicity against oral pathogens such as Streptococcus mutans and Porphyromonas gingivalis, while liposomal temoporfin has been shown to be effective against Mycobacterium tuberculosis. The photochemical properties of temoporfin are due to its ability to form covalent bonds with nucleic acids and proteins, thus leading to cellular death. This compound can be delivered orally or intravenously in liposomes. In addition, it can be used for photodynamic therapy with a biocompatible polymer as a photosensitizer that can penetrate deep into tissues where light exposure can activate the drug.
