ORALLY AVAILABLE LIGHT-INDEPENDENT ANTINEOPLASTIC COMPOUNDS

摘要

Pheophorbide derivative compounds which can inhibit cell proliferation and angiogenesis in a light-independent manner are disclosed and claimed. Importantly, these compounds exhibit low toxicity, and are orally/subcutaneous/intravenously/transdermally/topically available, thus having value as new potential agents to treat cancer or diseases related to imbalance in cell proliferation and angiogenesis.
