reactive oxygen species (ROS) that may cause oxidative tissue damage and ultimately kill
cells. Cellular membranes are the action grounds of many sensitizers due to their
hydrophobic or amphiphilic character as well as the location of many of the targets attacked
by ROS. Hence, the binding ability and location of porphyrins in liposomes as simple models
of cellular membranes are of outstanding interest. Here we compare mesoporphyrin IX …
