Paper Abstract
The photosensitizers uroporphyrin III (UP III), coproporphyrin III (CP III), and protoporphyrin IX (PP IX) were examined with respect to their composition (by different molecular species), uptake and distribution in cells and tissues, intracellular pH value, cytotoxicity and formation of photoproducts. Whereas hydrophilic UP III and CP III were characterized by low cytotoxicity and preferential accumulation in lysosomes, hydrophobic PP IX was found to be rather cytotoxic and mainly localized in cellular membranes. Rapid uptake in tissues and some preferential location in tumor cells were detected for hydrophobic photosensitizers.
