Preferred Label : Methyl Bacteriopurpurinimide;
NCIt synonyms : 3-(1-Butyloxy)ethyl-3-deacetyl-bacteriopurpurin-18-n-butylimide Methyl Ester;
NCIt definition : A brain-penetrant bacteriochlorin analog and photosensitizer, with potential imaging
and antineoplastic activities upon fluorescence imaging and fluorescence-guided photodynamic
therapy (PDT) respectively. Upon administration, methyl bacteriopurpurinimide crosses
the blood brain barrier (BBB) and is taken up by tumor cells. Upon clinical near-infrared
(NIR) imaging, the tumor cells can be detected which allows for visualization of the
tumor. Upon NIR PDT, the tumor cells are killed.;
