MedKoo CAT#: 527708

CAS#: 135719-28-7

Description: Silicon Phthalocyanine 4, also known as Pc-4, is a drug potentially for the treatment of cutaneous neoplasms. Photoirradiation of the silicon phthalocyanine 4 photosensitizer with red light generates singlet oxygen and other reactive oxygen species to induce cell death. Pc 4 is absorbed into the epidermis in as little as 1 hour and the absorption increased with increasing time and dose. Silicon phthalocyanine 4 can be effectively delivered into human skin via topical application.
