描述 | Verteporfin (CL 318952) is utilized as a photosensitizer in photodynamic therapy aimed at eradicating abnormal blood vessels in the eye, particularly in conditions like age-related macular degeneration. It also functions as a YAP inhibitor, effectively disrupting YAP-TEAD interactions and inducing apoptosis in cells[1]. Additionally, Verteporfin acts as an autophagy inhibitor, specifically blocking the early stages of autophagy by preventing autophagosome formation[3]. | ||
作用机制 | Verteporfin is transported in the plasma primarily by lipoproteins and once been activated by light in the presence of oxygen, highly reactive, short-lived singlet oxygen and reactive oxygen radicals are generated. Light activation of verteporfin can locally damage neovascular endothelium, resulting in vessel occlusion. Damaged endothelium is known to release procoagulant and vasoactive factors through the lipo-oxygenase (leukotriene) and cyclo-oxygenase (eicosanoids such as thromboxane) pathways, resulting in platelet aggregation, fibrin clot formation and vasoconstriction. Verteporfin appears to somewhat preferentially accumulate in neovasculature, including choroidal neovasculature. However, animal models indicate that the drug is also present in the retina. As singlet oxygen and reactive oxygen radicals are cytotoxic, Verteporfin can also be used to destroy tumor cells. https://www.drugbank.ca/drugs/DB00460 |
