Mechanisms of Phototoxic Effects of Cationic Porphyrins on Human Cells In Vitro

The toxic effects of four cationic porphyrins on various human cells were studied in vitro. It was found that, under dark conditions, porphyrins are almost nontoxic, while, under the action of light, the toxic effect was observed starting from nanomolar concentrations. At a concentration of 100 nM,...
