摘要:
Novel tumor specific phototherapeutic and photodiagnostic agents are disclosed. The compounds consist of a carbocyanine dye for visualization, photosensitizer for photodynamic treatment, and tumor receptor-avid peptide for site-specific delivery of the probe and phototoxic agent to diseased tissues. A combination of these elements takes full advantage of the unique and efficient properties of each component for an effective patient care management.
摘要:
The present invention discloses dye-sulfenate derivatives and their bioconjugates for dual phototherapy of tumors and other lesions. The compounds of the present invention may contain either a mixture of type 1 and type 2 agents or a single entity that integrates both units in the same molecules. The compounds are designed to produce both type 1 and type 2 phototherapeutic effect at once using dual wavelength light source that will produce singlet oxygen and free radicals at the lesion of interest.
