NCIt definition : A pentadentate aromatic metallotexaphyrin with photosensitizing properties. Motexafin
lutetium preferentially accumulates in tumor cells due to their increased rates of
metabolism and absorbs light, forming an extended high energy conformational state
that produces high quantum yields of singlet oxygen, resulting in local cytotoxic
effects. (NCI04);
Alternative definition : NCI-GLOSS: A substance that is being studied in the treatment of cancer using photodynamic
therapy. It belongs to the family of drugs called metallotexaphyrins.;
