Analysis of Hypericin-Mediated Effects and Implications for Targeted Photodynamic Therapy

The phototoxic effect of hypericin can be utilized for Photodynamic Therapy (PDT) of cancer. After intravenous application and systemic distribution of the drug in the patient's body, the tumor site is exposed to light. Subsequently, toxic reactive oxygen species (ROS) are generated, inducing tumor cell death. To prevent unwanted activation of the drug in other regions of the body, patients hav...

mTHPC-mediated photodynamic diagnosis of malignant brain tumors.

Radical tumor resection is the basis for the prolonged survival of patients suffering from malignant brain tumors such as glioblastoma multiforme. We have carried out a phase-II study involving 22 patients with malignant brain tumors to assess the feasibility and the effectiveness of the combination of intraoperative photodynamic diagnosis and fluorescence-guided resection (FGR) mediated by the...
