ABSTRACT:
A compound for use as a photosensitiser in PDT, in photochemical internalisation in the production of a cancer vaccine or in the diagnosis or detection of medical conditions, the compound having a photosensitising chromophoric system, a sulphonamido functionality and a carboxy functionality. The compounds used in the present invention are photosensitisers in PDT in vivo, and show phototoxic activity in vitro. The compounds are used to treat pre-cancerous conditions, cancer, ophthalmological disease, vascular problems, arteriosclerosis and restenosis and autoimmune diseases, skin diseases and other benign conditions, and for anti-microbial treatments.
