MedKoo Cat#: 202185 | Name: Padoporfin (Tookad)

Description:

WARNING: This product is for research use only, not for human or veterinary use.

Padoporfin is a new faster acting photosensitiser that clears within a few hours. In normal rat colon, after sensitisation with an intravenous bolus of Padoporfin, light was delivered to a single point on the mucosa and the extent of PDT necrosis measured 3 days later. The lesion diameter was greatest with the highest dose of drug and light and the shortest drug light interval (DLI), falling rapidly with a DLI more than 5 min. In tumours transplanted subcutaneously or into the colon, the extent of necrosis only started falling with a DLI greater than 15 min, suggesting a possible window for tumour selectivity. Histological changes 3 days after PDT were essentially the same as those seen with longer acting photosensitisers. The lesion dimensions were comparable to the largest ones seen with other photosensitisers under similar experimental conditions. WST09 is a powerful photosensitiser that produces PDT effects similar to those seen with longer acting drugs, but with the major advantages of a short DLI and rapid clearance (source: Int J Cancer. 2006 Jan 15;118(2):477-82.).

More Info
Tookad (palladium bacteriopherophorbide photosensitizer, WST09) is a palladium-metalated bacteriopherophorbide derived from BChl, the bacterial equivalent of plant chlorophyll. Tookad possesses a high molar extinction coefficient ( 1.086 X 105 M-1cm -1 in chloroform), maximum absorption wavelength in the near-infrared region (763 nm), light penetration depth of 4 mm using a 763 nm light source (compared to 1.6 mm light penetration with Photofrin using a 630 nm light source) and fast PKs—95% of compound is cleared from circulation of mice in 15 min preventing accumulation in tissues, a characteristic necessary for localized tumor and isolated metastases treatment. In addition, it has been shown to have a plasma half-life of about 20 min in mice. Tookad-based PDT possesses an advantage over several well-established PDT regimens in terms of its short drug exposure–light interval. This facilitates minimal delay between administration of drug and irradiation with light. When activated, Tookad targets the vasculature of the tumor, initiating inflammation, hypoxia, necrosis and tumor eradication Accourding to O'Connor et al review paper, Tookad appears to be photochemically and pharmacologically superior to other clinically used photosensitizers to date. There is little or no skin-associated photosensitivity due to the extremely short half-life of the drug. A further advantage is its ability to be activated at a relatively long wavelength resulting in greater tissue penetration. Tookad overcomes several of the disadvantages associated with first generation photosensitizers and also appears to be superior to various second generation photosensitizers developed. Although it has yet to be clinically approved, preclinical studies to date would indicate that Tookad represents a promising photosensitizer in the PDTbased treatment of nonsuperficial cancers such as those of the prostate.
