NCIt definition : A bacteriochlorin-based photosensitizer, with antineoplastic activity upon photodynamic
therapy (PDT). Following intravenous administration, redaporfin preferentially accumulates
in hyperproliferative tissues, such as tumors. Local application of laser light at
the tumor site results in the absorption of light by this agent and a photodynamic
reaction between LUZ 11 and oxygen. This results in the production of reactive oxygen
species (ROS), which includes singlet oxygen molecules, the superoxide ion, and other
cytotoxic free radicals. The formation of ROS induces free radical-mediated DNA damage
and cell death.;
