Abstract:
Phthalocyanines, porphyrin-like compounds with maximum absorption in the red, which were previously reported to localize selectively in tumours, have been shown to be efficient photosensitizers of mammalian cells in culture, thus making them possible candidates to replace haematoporphyrin derivatives in cancer phototherapy. © 1985 Informa UK Ltd All rights reserved: reproduction in whole or part not permitted.
