Protoporphyrin IX disodium is a final intermediate in the heme biosynthetic pathway, which acts as a radiation sensitizer enhancing ROS generation even in a hypoxic state and inducing DNA damage. Protoporphyrin IX disodium also acts as a photo sensitizer undergoing photobleaching that occurs through direct degradation by light irradiation. Protoporphyrin IX disodium is formed and accumulated following 5-aminolevulinic acid (5-ALA) (HY-W000450) administration in the tumor cells of rats. Protoporphyrin IX disodium causes selective improvement of basal cell carcinoma when activated red fluorescence of a peak wavelength at 405 nm. Protoporphyrin IX disodium is promising for research of sonodynamic and photodynamic agents for a wide range of cancers, such as bladder cancer and nodular basal cell carcinoma.

    To determine whether the inhibition of caveolin-1 tyrosine residues 14 ( Cav-1-Y14 ) phosphorylation with protein tyrosine kinase inhibitors ( PP2 ) will upregulate heme oxygenase-1 ( HO-1 ) activity to protect against ventilation induced lung injury in vivo of an animal model. The group D1 or D2 receive high tidal volume ventilation for 1 hour or 2 hour respectively, but they are given PP2 1 hour before high tidal volume ventilation. The groups E1 and E2 also receive high tidal volume ventilat

    In Vivo

    The highest level of Protoporphyrin IX disodium (approximately 6.3 nmol/g tissue) is found in rat liver and intestine, followed by aorta (4.3 nmol/g tissue) and oesophagus (2.1 nmol/g tissue), 3 h after Aminolevulinic acid (300 mg/kg, i.v., a single dose) administration[4].

    Help & FAQs
    • Do most proteins show cross-species activity?

      Species cross-reactivity must be investigated individually for each product. Many human cytokines will produce a nice response in mouse cell lines, and many mouse proteins will show activity on human cells. Other proteins may have a lower specific activity when used in the opposite species.
