Old, But just a Reminder HIGHLIGHTS
1) Up to 100% cancer cell kill at very low concentrations (< 0.8µM)
2) Virtually 0% toxicity at high concentrations (> 100µM) leading to very high safety profile
3) More effective at killing cancer cells than FDA approved drugs (668,000 x ALA, 198 x PHOTOFRIN)
4) No side effects were observed from treatment (quick evacuation of PDC from healthy cells and high light fluence required for activation provides extremely high safety profile)
5) Ultra low toxicity as PDC never enters blood stream (bladder cancer)
6) Water soluble & readily penetrates cellular membrane (DNA localizing)
7) Activated by laser light providing excellent specificity and selectivity
8) Lethal to cancer and bacteria
9) Able to treat solid core hypoxic tumours, such as: breast, prostate and lung
10) Research performed at world renowned Princess Margaret Cancer Centre
11) Activated at long wavelengths (allows deeper tumour destruction)
12) Issued USA Patents: 6,962,910, 7,612,057, 8,148,360, 8,445,475
13) Pending USA Patent Applications: 61/801,674, 13/863,089, PCT/US13/36595
