Motexafin lutetium is a texaphyrin, developed by Pharmacyclics Inc. (proposed trade names Lutrin, Antrin and Optrin)

It is a photosensitiser for use in photodynamic therapy to treat skin conditions and superficial cancers.

It has also been tested for use in photoangioplasty (photodynamic treatment of diseased arteries).[1]

It is photoactivated by 732 nm light which allows greater depth of penetration.[2]

Clinical trials

Phase II clinical trials were in progress in 1999.[3]

A phase I trial for prostate cancer reported in 2009.[4]

As of 2017, this drug is no longer being developed.[5]
