Description: Talaporfin sodium is a natural chlorophyll-based, and water soluble PDT photosensitizer consisting of chlorin e6, derived from chlorophyll, and L-aspartic acid with photosensitizing activity. After intratumoral activation by light emitting diodes, talaporfin sodium forms an extended high energy conformational state that generates singlet oxygen, which can kill target tissues with minimal side effects through vascular closure and apoptosis. Constant illumination can activate each molecule of talaporfin many times, resulting in a continuous supply of singlet oxygen molecules. Talaporfin kills all tumour cells in the targeted zone, rather than only the minority of cells undergoing rapid division, as in the case of chemotherapy.

Talaporfin (INN, also known as aspartyl chlorin, mono-L-aspartyl chlorine e6, NPe6, or LS11) is a photosensitizer used in photodynamic therapy (PDT). It absorbs red light at 664nm normally provided by a laser tuned to this wavelength. Talaporfin was approved in Japan (in 2004) for PDT of lung cancer and marketed as Laserphyrin.
Development status: talaporfin was approved in Japan in 2004, but not yet in USA. Light Sciences Oncology (LSO) is developing Aptocine™ (talaporfin sodium) for solid tumors as well as other indications such as BPH. Aptocine is a water-soluble drug targeted by a small, single-use, disposable drug activator included with the drug. Aptocine is designed to provide tolerable, effective, and repeatable treatments for patients. LSO has completed treatment of patients in a Phase 3 trial of Aptocine in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and in a Phase 3 trial for metastatic colorectal cancer (MCRC). LSO is also conducting clinical trials in benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), or enlargement of the prostate, and has clinical or preclinical programs in cardiovascular, ophthalmic, and dermatologic diseases. Aptocine has three potential primary mechanisms of action: direct tumor cytotoxicity, apoptosis due to vascular shutdown, and anti-tumor immune stimulation. In clinical studies to date, Aptocine has been well-tolerated with no evidence that Aptocine causes the serious toxicities associated with traditional cancer treatments.

Chemical and physical properties of Talaporfin: Talaporfin is dark blue-green powder, soluble in water. Talaporfin is also hygroscopic and light sensitive. Therefore talaporfin should be stored under dry and protected from light (easily way to this is to use alumina foil to wrap the container). Talaporfin's absorption max (phosphate buffer, pH 7.4): 400 nm, 654 nm (e 180000, 40000). Absorption max (dioxane): 402 nm, 663 nm (EmM 111, 38).
Useful data about talaporfin sodium:
The singlet oxygen quantum yield of talaporfin was 0.5– 0.8 (0.56 in water and 0.77 in methanol). Talaporfin sodium has a serum t1⁄2 alpha of 9 hours and is excreted unmetabolized, predominantly by the biliary system. ( Cancer . 2003 Oct 15;98(8):1767-71.)
