Biodistribution of PVP-hypericin and hexaminolevulinate-induced PpIX in normal and orthotopic tumor-bearing rat urinary bladder
2011
Purpose
In this preclinical study, we examined the biodistribution of hypericin formulated as its water-soluble PVP-hypericin complex in the different layers (urothelium, submucosa, muscle) of a normal rat bladder and a rat bladder bearing a malignant urothelium composed of syngeneic AY-27 tumor cells. The results were compared with the biodistribution of hexaminolevulinate (HAL)-induced protoporphyrin IX (PpIX).
