Abstract
Photodynamic therapy of tumors with phthalocyanines (PC) as photosensitizers is described. PC may be good alternatives to hematoporphyrin derivatives. The photochemistry and photophysics of the phthalocyanines is reviewed. Emphasis is placed on the effects of PC structure and aggregation state on photosensitized processes in vivo and in vitro.
