Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To obtain texaphyrin for radiosensitization. SOLUTION: A medicinal composition used for a radiosensitizer is prepared by using the texaphyrin. The texaphyrin is an aromatic 5 position (and heptacyclic) macrocycle (enlarged porphyrin) and, may be due to its inherent lipophilic property, shows larger biolocalization in non-neoplasm organs and non-atheroma plaque in neoplasm organ and atheroma each possible to be a malignant or benign tumor. The texaphyrin improves radiation damage and overcomes many defects of conventional radiosensitizers. COPYRIGHT: (C)2004,JPO

Abstract:
Disclosed herein are methods for treating a cancer comprising: a. administering a Btk inhibitor to a subject sufficient to result in an increase or appearance in the blood of a subpopulation of lymphocytes defined by immunophenotyping; b. determining the expression profile of one or more biomarkers from one or more subpopulation of lymphocytes; and c. administering a second agent based on the determined expression profile.

Abstract:
Compositions having a texaphyrin-lipophilic molecule conjugate loaded into a biological vesicle and methods for imaging, diagnosis and treatment using the loaded vesicle are provided. For example, liposomes or red blood cells loaded with a paramagnetic texaphyrin-lipophilic molecule conjugate have utility as a blood pool contrast agent, facilitating the enhancement of normal tissues, magnetic resonance angiography, and marking areas of damaged endothelium by their egress through fenestrations or damaged portions of the blood vascular system. Liposomes or cells loaded with a photosensitive texaphyrin-lipophilic molecule conjugate can be photolysed, allowing for a photodynamic therapy effect at the site of lysis. Availability of red blood cells loaded with a photosensitive texaphyrin-lipophilic molecule conjugate provides a method for delivering a photodynamic therapeutic agent to a desired site with a high concentration of oxygen. By presenting the agent in this way, it is expected that a patient will experience less toxicity.
