Abstract
The photosensitiser currently used in the photodynamic therapy of cancer is haematoporphyrin derivative. Pulsed laser studies of this material and also of the "parent" molecule haematoporphyrin in polyoma-transformed fibroblast cells have now been studied. We report, for the first time, the observation of the triplet absorption of these sensitisers in cells. The corresponding triplet-triplet spectra are red shifted compared to aqueous…
