Protoporphyrin IX disodium is a final intermediate in the heme biosynthetic pathway. It acts as a radiation sensitizer, enhancing ROS generation even in hypoxic conditions and inducing DNA damage. It also functions as a photosensitizer, undergoing photobleaching through direct degradation by light irradiation. This product is promising for research of sonodynamic and photodynamic agents for various cancers, including bladder cancer and nodular basal cell carcinoma.
