Different doses (0.5-20 mg/kg) of hematoporphyrin (HP) have been injected intraperitoneally into normal rats and rats affected by Yoshida ascites hepatoma. About 80% of HP reaching the liver was recovered in the extracellular compartment after liver perfusion, the ratio of extra- to intracellular HP being essentially independent of the administered dose. Similar data were obtained at different times after injection of 20 mg/kg HP. Intracellular HP largely accumulates in the mitochondria and in the membrane components of the nuclear fraction of isolated hepatocytes. Kinetic studies suggest that the cell receptors of highest affinity for HP are present in the external membrane. The latter result obtains for ascites hepatoma cells in an even more evident way, although the latter cells exhibit secondary HP binding sites probably constituted by cytoplasmatic proteins. Moreover, the clearance of intracellular HP from malignant cells occurs at a remarkably lower rate as compared with HP clearance from liver cells.
