The destructive process of mouse MS-2 fibrosarcoma induced by photodynamic therapy (PDT) with liposome-administered Zn(II)-phthalocyanine (ZnPc) was studied by electron microscopy. Pronounced ultrastructural changes characteristic of apoptosis were observed for several tumour cells, including early

## Abstract ## Background and Objectives Previous in vitro studies demonstrated the potential utility of benzoporphyrin derivative monoacid ring A (BPD) photodynamic therapy (PDT) for vascular destruction. Moreover, the effects of PDT were enhanced when this intervention was followed immediately b
Zn(II)-phthalocyanine (ZnPc) and its octapentyl (ZnOPPc) and octadecyl (ZnODPc) derivatives have been intravenously injected at a dose of 1.46 ixmol/kg into female Balb/c mice bearing an intramuscularly transplanted MS-2 fibrosarcoma. Pharmacokinetic studies show that in all cases the maximal concen
## Background and objectives: Laser-induced photo thermal damage has been combined with photodynamic therapy (pdt) using a systemic photosensitiser to treat vascular lesions. the efficacy of pdt using systemic 5-aminolaevulinic acid (5-ala) as the photosensitiser and pulsed dye laser (pdl) as the l
