Product Introduction

Bioactivity
Description
Methyl pyropheophorbide-a (MPPa) is a chlorine photosensitizer and a derivative of chlorophyll a. It is photodynamically active, induces apoptosis and inhibits tumor growth, and can be used in photodynamic therapy (PDT) of cancer.
In vitro
In PC-3M cells, after treatment with Methyl pyropheophorbide-a (2 μM; 12 h) under LC75 conditions (2 μM + 55.6 kJ/m²), the apoptosis rates were approximately 0.27%, 6.15%, 20.49%, 50.76%, 65.39%, 64.92%, and 64.37% at 1, 3, 6, 12, 18, and 24 hours post-treatment, respectively[1].
In vivo
In male BALB/c nude mice (6-8 weeks old, 16-20 g) bearing PC-3M tumors, Methyl pyropheophorbide-a (15 mg/kg; tail vein injection and topical injection) resulted in tumor volume and weight inhibition rates of 46.78% and 41.84% in the tail vein injection group, respectively, and 78.66% and 72.07% in the topical injection group, respectively[2].

In Vivo Formulation Calculator (Clear solution)

Please enter your animal experiment information in the following box and click Calculate to obtain the mother liquor preparation method and in vivo formula preparation method:
TargetMol | Animal experimentsFor example, your dosage is 10 mg/kg Each animal weighs 20 g, and the dosage volume is 100 μL . TargetMol | Animal experiments A total of 10 animals were administered, and the formula you used is 5% TargetMol | reagent DMSO+30% PEG300+5% Tween 80+60% ddH2O. So your working solution concentration is 2 mg/mL。
Mother liquor preparation method: 2 mg of drug dissolved in 50 μL DMSOTargetMol | reagent (mother liquor concentration of 40 mg/mL), if you need to configure a concentration that exceeds the solubility of the product, please contact us first.
Preparation method for in vivo formula: Take 50 μL DMSOTargetMol | reagent main solution, add 300 μLPEG300TargetMol | reagent mix well and clarify, then add 50 more μL Tween 80, mix well and clarify, then add 600 more μLddH2OTargetMol | reagent mix well and clarify
