Talaporfin
Talaporfin (mono-l-aspartyl chlorin e6) is a second-generation chlorin-based photosensitizer used in photodynamic therapy (PDT) for early-stage central lung cancer, early-stage esophageal cancer, and investigation in AMD and BPH. Upon activation by 664 nm red light, it generates cytotoxic singlet oxygen and reactive oxygen species that induce apoptosis and vascular shutdown in the illuminated target tissue. Its chlorin-based structure provides stronger near-infrared light absorption and shorter drug-to-light intervals than porphyrin-based photosensitizers.
