NCIt definition : A synthetic metallotexaphyrin with radiosensitizing and chemosensitizing properties.
Motexafin gadolinium accumulates in tumor cells preferentially due to their increased
rates of metabolism, generating reactive oxygen species (ROS) intracellularly and
lowering the tumor cell apoptotic threshold to ionizing radiation and chemotherapy.
(NCI04);
Alternative definition : NCI-GLOSS: A substance that is being studied in the treatment of cancer. It may make
tumor cells more sensitive to radiation therapy, improve tumor images using magnetic
resonance imaging (MRI), and kill cancer cells. It is a type of metalloporphyrin complex.;
