Porphyrins occur naturally in plants and animals. All porphyrin molecules feature an aromatic macrocycle ring with a central binding site. This site accommodates transition metals, which are held in place by inward-facing nitrogen atoms. Metalloporphyrins have usually a low toxicity and a potential of a selective uptake in tumors or necrosis. These properties are advantageous for a use as MRI tumor specific agents with positive enhancement. These contrast agents enhance tumors on T1 weighted sequences, which are isointense to surrounding tissues. Porphyrin-based compounds have also necrosis avid properties; they can depict the extent of myocardial infarction as defined by histopathology.
Metalloporphyrins are also used in photodynamic therapy of tumors. The compounds contain a 'lone star' metal atom at the center of the ring and are 'bigger than the average porphyrin'. They contain five N atoms in the central chelating core and this allows them to form complexes with large trivalent lanthanide metals, which have useful cancer therapy properties.
