摘要:
New compounds useful in photodynamic therapy are of the formula and their 1,4-diene isomers and the metallated and/or labeled and/or conjugated forms thereof wherein each R1 is independently alkyl (1-6C); each n is independently an integer of 0-6; and R2 is vinyl or a derivative form thereof.
摘要:
A composition and method for inhibiting apoptosis, or decreasing the rate or extent of apoptosis, in target cells. The method comprises the step of the step of contacting the target cells with an apoptosis-regulating amount of at least one cysteine or serine protease inhibitor that: a. inhibits the conversion of the pro-enzyme form of CPP32 to its enzymatically-active form; b. blocks the proteolytic action of activated CPP32 against its cellular substrates; or c. both. The method is particularly applicable to ameliorating the side effects of, or enhancing the selectivity, of photodynamic therapy.

New compounds useful in photodynamic therapy are of the formula ##STR1## and their 1,4-diene isomers and the metallated and/or labeled and/or conjugated forms thereofwherein each R.sup.1 is independently alkyl (1-6C);each n is independently an integer of 0-6; andR.sup.2 is vinyl or a derivative form thereof.
摘要:
A group of hydro-monobenzoporphyrins "green porphyrins" (Gp) having absorption maxima in the range of 670-780 nanometers is useful in treating disorders or conditions which are subject to hematoporphyrin derivative (HPD) treatment in the presence of light, or in treating virus, cells and tissues generally to destroy unwanted targets. The use of the Gp of the invention permits the irradiation for therapy to use wavelengths other than those absorbed by blood. The Gp of the invention may also be conjugated to ligands specific for receptor or to specific immunoglobulins or fragments thereof to target specific tissues or cells for the radiation treatment. Use of these materials permits lower levels of drug to be used, thus preventing side reactions which might destroy normal tissues.
摘要:
Green porphyrins (Gp), compounds important in photodynamic therapy, have been associated with lipocomplexes to reduce the required amount of photosensitizer through higher effective absorption and increased specificity. BPDs, especially in conjunction with the HDL fraction of plasma lipoproteins, has been shown to be particularly effective in this context. Pharmaceutical compositions in which these combinations are the active ingredients for use in diagnosis and treatment of tumors are also disclosed.

摘要:
A general enhancement of the immune system of an animal can be obtained by administration of a T-cell suppressor factor which is idiotypic with regard to any specific antigen when such administration is made in the presence of an effective amount of adjuvant.
摘要:
This invention relates generally to the field of pharmacotherapeutics and the use of photodynamic therapy (“PDT”). In particular, the invention provides a method for reducing or preventing the effects of inflammation arising from normal dose photodynamic therapy (PDT), which method comprises exposing a target tissue in a subject that has been treated with normal dose PDT treatment to low dose light having a wavelength absorbed by a photosensitizing agent used in said normal dose PDT treatment for a time sufficient to reduce or prevent the effects of inflammation arising from said normal dose PDT treatment. The method is particularly useful in reducing or preventing the effects of inflammation arising from normal dose PDT treatment of ocular tissues.
摘要:
The present method involves the photodynamic treatment of hyperactive gland disorders. The method involves the topical administration of a photosensitizer composition comprising hydrophobic and/or lipophilic green porphyrins such as lemuteporfin, polyethylene glycol and skin penetration enhancers such as oleyl alcohol and TRANSCUTOL™ to affected skin and subsequent exposure of that skin to energy of a wavelength capable of activating the photosensitizer.
