Abstract
Photodynamic therapy with HPD as sensitizer causes destruction of malignant tumors. In this context a detailed study of the photodynamic effects of HPD on various cellular parameters is in progress to elucidate the ultimate cause of cell death in photodynamic therapy. It has been shown that membrane transport systems and enzymes can be inhibited (1–3). In addition, damage to DNA has also been described (4–8). In this contribution we report the photodynamic effects of HPD on the repair kinetics of DNA damage induced by X-rays, UV-light and the methylating agent methyl methanesulphonate in murine L929 fibroblasts.
