Spectroscopic studies of aqueous solutions of haematoporphyrin-type sensitisers reveal that photobleaching during eposure to light is followed by the formation of stable red-absorbing photoproducts. Experiments in model systems (sensitisers bound to human serum albumin or in a suspension of resealed erythrocyte ‘ghosts’) and in tumour tissue show that similar photomodification takes place in all investigated environments. Loss of total absorption and emission intensities is accompanied by an increase of absorption in the red spectral region (630–650 nm) which is used for the treatment of tumours because of the deeper penetration of light into tissues. This should be taken into account when the duration of illumination is chosen to reach an appropriate photodynamic dose using Hp-type sensitisers in the photodynamic treatment of tumours.
