Quinoxyl has been primarily used in medical applications, specifically in photodynamic therapy. This therapy is used to treat various types of cancers, as well as other conditions such as acne. Quinoxyl is administered to the patient in its active form, typically in the form of a solution or suspension. Once administered, the quinoxyl is then activated by exposure to a specific wavelength of light, typically in the range of 650 to 850 nanometers. This activation of the quinoxyl by light is what enables it to effectively destroy the cancer cells, while leaving healthy cells relatively unaffected.
