Porphyrin derivatives, and their production and use
Abstract
Abstract A porphyrin compound of the formula:wherein R<sub>1</sub> and R<sub>2</sub> are each -CH=CH<sub>2</sub>, -CH<sub>2</sub>CH<sub>3</sub>, -CH(O-lower alkanoyl)CH<sub>3</sub>, -CH(OR)CH<sub>3</sub> or -CH(O-lower alkylene-OR)CH<sub>3</sub>; R<sub>3</sub> is -H, -COOH, -COO-lower alkyl, -COO-lower alkylene-OR or -COO-lower alkylene -OOC-Z; R<sub>4</sub> is -H, -lower alkyl or -lower alkylene-OR; R is -H, -lower alkyl or a residue of a polyfunctional carboxyl compound exluding a hydrogen atom therefrom; Z is a residue of the compound of the formula (I) excluding R<sub>3</sub> therefrom; A is -CH<sub>2</sub>- or-CO-; and the dotted line from the gamma-position indicates no bonding or a single direct bond; and the dotted line between the 7- and 8-positions indicates the presence of a single bond or a double bond; and its complexes with a metal(s) in the porphine skeleton and/or at the residue of the polyfunctional carboxyl compound, at least one of R<sub>1</sub>, R<sub>2</sub>, R<sub>3</sub> and R<sub>4</sub> being a group containing R which represents the residue of the polyfunctional carboxyl compound and R<sub>1</sub> being capable of representing 1-iodoethyl in addition to said meanings when R<sub>3</sub> is -COO-lower alkylene-OOC-Z, which shows a high accumulation in the locus of cancer with quick excretion from normal tissues.
