Abstract (en)

[origin: WO0001413A1] Texaphyrins are selectively retained in diseased tissue cells. When exposed to low level, non-thermal sonodynamic agent such as ultrasound, the texaphyrin-incorporated cells are selectively destroyed. There is provided a method of sonodynamic therapy by administering an effective amount of an intracellular sensitizer to a mammal in need thereof and providing an effective amount of a sonodynamic agent.
