Product Description

Photochlor (HTTP), a photodynamic therapy (PDT) agent, is a lipophilic, second-generation, chlorin-based photosensitizer. Upon IV administration, HPPH selectively accumulates in the cytoplasm of cancer or pre-cancerous cells. When laser light is applied, a photodynamic reaction between HPPH and oxygen occurs, resulting in the production of cytotoxic free radicals and singlet oxygen and free radical-mediated cell death. Compared to the first-generation photosensitizer porfimer sodium, HPPH shows improved pharmacokinetic properties and causes only mild skin photosensitivity which declines rapidly within a few days after administration.

Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
ln Vitro
Fluorescence pictures of 4T1 cells cultured in a solution containing 0.49 µg/mL GO-PEG, 1 µM HPPH (free HPPH), or a combination of 1 µM HPPH and 0.49 µg/mL GO-PEG for a duration of 24 hours. GO-PEG-HPPH and HPPH cellular absorption were investigated in 4T1 murine breast cancer cells. After giving cells equivalent quantities (1 µM) of GO-PEG-HPPH and free HPPH for a whole day, the cells were examined using confocal microscopy. Compared to cells treated with free HPPH, those treated with GO-PEG-HHPH displayed more pronounced fluorescent signals. In actuality, HPPH has very little fluorescence [1].
ln Vivo
Enhancing antitumor immunity while maintaining efficient control over primary tumor growth can be achieved by treating tumors with an immune-enhancing PDT regimen followed by a tumor-controlling PDT regimen. In order to investigate this theory, a combination treatment plan was created. BALB/c mice bearing Colo26-HA tumors were given the HPPH-PDT regimen, which is known to improve antitumor immunity (0.4 μmoles/ kg HPPH) by irradiating the tumor with 665 nm light (a total dose of 48 J/cm2). The mice were given an injection of HPPH on the ninth day after they had been awake for nine days. The tumor was treated with a tumor control treatment regimen (irradiation with 665 nm light, total dose 132 J/cm2) on the tenth day following the first treatment [2].

Solubility Data
Solubility (In Vitro)
DMSO : ~125 mg/mL (~196.29 mM)
Solubility (In Vivo)
Solubility in Formulation 1: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (3.93 mM) (saturation unknown) in 10% DMSO + 40% PEG300 + 5% Tween80 + 45% Saline (add these co-solvents sequentially from left to right, and one by one), clear solution.
For example, if 1 mL of working solution is to be prepared, you can add 100 μL of 25.0 mg/mL clear DMSO stock solution to 400 μL PEG300 and mix evenly; then add 50 μL Tween-80 to the above solution and mix evenly; then add 450 μL normal saline to adjust the volume to 1 mL.
Preparation of saline: Dissolve 0.9 g of sodium chloride in 100 mL ddH₂ O to obtain a clear solution.

Solubility in Formulation 2: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (3.93 mM) (saturation unknown) in 10% DMSO + 90% (20% SBE-β-CD in Saline) (add these co-solvents sequentially from left to right, and one by one), suspension solution.
For example, if 1 mL of working solution is to be prepared, you can add 100 μL of 25.0 mg/mL clear DMSO stock solution to 900 μL of 20% SBE-β-CD physiological saline solution and mix evenly.
Preparation of 20% SBE-β-CD in Saline (4°C,1 week): Dissolve 2 g SBE-β-CD in 10 mL saline to obtain a clear solution.

Solubility in Formulation 3: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (3.93 mM) (saturation unknown) in 10% DMSO + 90% Corn Oil (add these co-solvents sequentially from left to right, and one by one), clear solution.
For example, if 1 mL of working solution is to be prepared, you can add 100 μL of 25.0 mg/mL clear DMSO stock solution to 900 μL of corn oil and mix evenly.

*Note: Please select an appropriate solvent for the preparation of stock solution based on your experiment needs. For most products, DMSO can be used for preparing stock solutions (e.g. 5 mM, 10 mM, or 20 mM concentration); some products with high aqueous solubility may be dissolved in water directly. Solubility information is available at the above Solubility Data section. Once the stock solution is prepared, aliquot it to routine usage volumes and store at -20°C or -80°C. Avoid repeated freeze and thaw cycles.

Calculator

Molarity Calculator allows you to calculate the mass, volume, and/or concentration required for a solution, as detailed below:

  • Calculate the Mass of a compound required to prepare a solution of known volume and concentration
  • Calculate the Volume of solution required to dissolve a compound of known mass to a desired concentration
  • Calculate the Concentration of a solution resulting from a known mass of compound in a specific volume
An example of molarity calculation using the molarity calculator is shown below:
What is the mass of compound required to make a 10 mM stock solution in 5 ml of DMSO given that the molecular weight of the compound is 350.26 g/mol?
  • Enter 350.26 in the Molecular Weight (MW) box
  • Enter 10 in the Concentration box and choose the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 5 in the Volume box and choose the correct unit (mL)
  • Click the “Calculate” button
  • The answer of 17.513 mg appears in the Mass box. In a similar way, you may calculate the volume and concentration.

Dilution Calculator allows you to calculate how to dilute a stock solution of known concentrations. For example, you may Enter C1, C2 & V2 to calculate V1, as detailed below:

What volume of a given 10 mM stock solution is required to make 25 ml of a 25 μM solution?
Using the equation C1V1 = C2V2, where C1=10 mM, C2=25 μM, V2=25 ml and V1 is the unknown:
  • Enter 10 into the Concentration (Start) box and choose the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 25 into the Concentration (End) box and select the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 25 into the Volume (End) box and choose the correct unit (mL)
  • Click the “Calculate” button
  • The answer of 62.5 μL (0.1 ml) appears in the Volume (Start) box
