Verteporfin, marketed as Visudyne, is a benzoporphyrin derivative. It is used as a photosensitizer in photodynamic therapy to eliminate abnormal blood vessels in wet form macular degeneration. Verteporfin accumulates in these abnormal blood vessels and, when stimulated by nonthermal red light with a wavelength of 693 nm in the presence of oxygen, produces highly reactive short-lived singlet oxygen and other reactive oxygen radicals, resulting in local damage to the endothelium and blockage of the vessels.
Diazoxide is a non-diuretic benzothiadiazine derivative that activates ATP-sensitive potassium channels.[A255647,L44612] It is chemically related to thiazide diuretics but does not inhibit carbonic anhydrase and does not have chloriuretic or natriuretic activity. Diazoxide is commonly used in the treatment of hyperinsulinaemic hypoglycemia due to its ability to inhibit insulin release. Diazoxide also exhibits hypotensive activity and reduces arteriolar smooth muscle and vascular resistance. When administered intravenously, diazoxide can be used to treat hypertensive emergencies; however, this specific form of diazoxide is no longer available in the US. Diazoxide is usually well tolerated, and some of its more common side effects include fluid retention and electrolyte disturbances. In September 2015, the FDA issued a safety alert regarding post-marketing reports of pulmonary hypertension occurring in infants and neonates.[A255647,L44612]
