The effects of systemic administration of the nitric oxide synthase (NOS) inhibitor N-G-nitro-L-arginine (L-NNA) in combination with photodynamic therapy (PDT) on tumor response, tumor oxygenation and tumor and normal skin perfusion were studied in C3H mice bearing subcutaneous radiation-induced firbrosarcoma turners. Photodynamic therapy was carried out using the photosensitizer Photofrin(R) (5 mg/kg) in conjunction with a low fluence rate (30 mW/cm(2)) and a high fluence rate (150 mW/cm(2)) protocol at a total fluence of 100 J/cm(2). Low fluence rate PDT produced similar to 15% tumor cures, a response not significantly altered by administration of 20 mg/kg L-NNA either 5 min before or after PDT, In contrast, high fluence rate PDT produced no tumor cures by itself, but addition of L-NNA either pre- or post-PDT resulted in similar to 30% and similar to 10% tumor dares, respectively, The L-NNA by itself tended to decrease tumor pO(2) levels and perfusion, but statistically significant differences were reached only at one time point (1 h) with one of the oxygenation parameters measured (% values
