UNSPSC Description
Porfimer sodium (Photofrin II) is a photosensitizing compound used primarily for photodynamic inhibition. Porfimer sodium is selectively taken up by tumor cells and can generate oxygen free radicals upon activation. Porfimer sodium causes changes in Ca(2+) concentrations within cells, exhibiting acute electrophysiological responses and changes in cell morphology. The application of porfimer sodium can lead to the formation of micropores on the cell membrane surface, resulting in necrotic cell death[1].
