Studies on Separation and Identification of the Components as well as the Tu- mor-photobiological Activities of the Major Components of Photocarcinorin / 第二军医大学学报

The chemical composition, separation and identification of the components as well as the tumor photobiological activities of the major components of the new tumor-photochemodiagnostic and photochemotherapeutic agent photocarcinorin (PsD-007) were represented in this paper. It has been shown by the results of HPLC analysis in combination with spectroscopic determinations that PsD-007 is composed of 7 different porphyrins: MHD, DMD, MVD, AHD, HVD, Hp and Pp. The experimental results show that MHD, DMD and MVD are the major tumor photobiologically active components of PsD-007.
