Most of the photosensitizers used in experimental and clinical photochemotherapy (PCT)? of cancer (ie photodynamic therapy [PDT]) localize extranuclearly in cells: in the plasma membrane, in mitochondria, in endoplasmic reticulum, in Golgi apparatus and in lysosomes. The intracellular localization is dependent upon the chemical properties of the sensitizer, ie its hydrophobicity, charge and amphiphilic character (1). The intracellular localization seems also to be to some extent cell line dependent. The identity of the intracellular targets responsible for photochemically induced cell death depends on the parameters mentioned above. The special cases of lysosomes and microtubules (MT) as targets for photochemical treatment of cells in culture will be discussed.
