Chlorin E6

Chlorin E6 (CE6) is a second-generation photosensitizer with antitumor activity when used in combination with irradiation. In a mouse model of implanted fibrosarcoma, Chlorin E6 (2.5-10 mg/kg, i.v., 50-200 J/cm2 irradiation) resulted in complete tumor disappearance after varying degrees of irradiation. Agents including Chlorin E6 were tested in a Phase I clinical study in patients with early superficial squamous cell carcinoma of bronchial origin with favorable results (40 mg/m2, IV, 100 J/cm2 laser irradiation). In a Phase II clinical trial in patients with early stage lung cancer, the same mode of administration resulted in a complete response in 82.9% of patients. Chlorin E6 has been investigated as a nanotechnology drug delivery tool.

Chlorin e6 (Ce6) trisodium is a biochemical reagent.

Chlorin e6 trimethyl ester, a derivative of methyl pheophorbide-a, is an effective photosensitizer for photodynamic therapy (PDT).

Talaporfin is a photosensitizer used in photodynamic therapy.

LTB is a prodrug formed through the conjugation of the glycolysis inhibitor (Lonidamine) and the PD1/PDL1 blocker (BMS-1) via a thioketal bond. LTB can encapsulate the photosensitizer Chlorin e6 (Ce6), constructing a co-delivery photodynamic nanoplatfform through self-assembly (LTB-6 NPs).

RCK00826, also known as Monotyrosine amide of chlorin e6 trisodium salt, is a naturally derived porphyrin compound.
