Mechanism of action on target lesion in photodynamic therapy (PDT). There are two types of reaction during PDT. Following absorption of light, a photosensitizer is transformed from the ground state into an excited state. The activated sensitizer generates radicals (type-I reaction) or oxidative substrates (type-II reaction) to damage the cell. Modified from Refs. [29,30,31].
