Three porphycenes with fast pharmacokinetics were tested for their ability to photosensitize amelanotic hamster melanoma A-Mel-3 at short time intervals after injection. Laser light irradiation was performed at the time of maximal photosensitizer level in tumor tissue. Photodynamic therapy as short as 5 min after injection led to complete local tumor remission at a dosage of 1.4 mumol/kg for the porphycene CBPn. In comparison, Photofrin required 8.4 mumol/kg for local tumor remission in 5 of 6 animals with 24 hr accumulation time after injection. We propose a swift photodynamic protocol which can compete favorably with conventional techniques of tumor treatment.
