Background and objectives:Intensive research in the area of photodynamic therapy (PDT) has been made in recent years revealing it as a promising method for the treatment of tumors and inactivation of pathogenic microorganisms. However, for a broader application of this therapy one major challenge, namely a significant improvement of the targeted drug delivery and uptake, still remains. A possible solution of the selectivity problem could be the application of specifically functionalized photosensitizers, in particular phthalocyanine dyes. |
