Abstract
It is well known that majority of recently used photosensitizers for Photodynamic Therapy (PDT) is effective only in presence of dissolve oxygen in irradiated tissue. Interaction between photosensitizers, photons and molecules of oxygen generates active forms of oxygen e.g. singlet oxygen, oxygen radicals etc. These forms are able to damage proteins which are situated within intra and extra cellular liquid and cell membranes
