TMPyP4 tosylate(Cat No.:I010925)is a cationic porphyrin compound known for its ability to intercalate into DNA and RNA, making it a valuable tool in molecular biology and photodynamic therapy. As a photosensitizer, TMPyP4 tosylate generates reactive oxygen species upon light activation, which can induce cell death in target cells, particularly cancer cells. Its affinity for nucleic acids also enables it to be used in studies involving DNA/RNA interactions, gene delivery, and biosensing applications. The tosylate form enhances its solubility and stability, broadening its utility in various research and therapeutic contexts.
