Sellera et al. P. R. 1 Introduction Photodynamic therapy (PDT) quickly generates large amounts of reactive oxygen species (ROS) to induce death of photosensitized cells. If such excessive amount of ROS could be found occurring naturally in living systems, it would indeed represent some severe pathological condition. As previously described in Chap. 2, excited photosensitizer (PS) molecules can donate either electrons (type 1) or energy (type 2) to ground-state oxygen to produce superoxide radicals (O2•−) or singlet oxygen (1O2).

In this chapter we discuss the most relevant chemical reactions related to oxidative damage caused by photodynamic reactions to clarify the mechanisms of molecular damage caused by PDT. 2 Type 1 Reactions: O2●−, H2O2, and HO● Photodynamic reactions that harness energy from light to produce ROS are grouped in two types. Type 1 photodynamic reactions start via the donation of one electron from the excited PS (3PS*) to O2 initially producing superoxide radicals (O2●−). Superoxide can give hydrogen peroxide that can produce yet more radicals including the very reactive hydroxyl radical (HO●).

There only a very few exceptions that are stable as triplets in their ground state, and the only one of any practical significance is molecular dioxygen (O2). 7). , photosensitizers) either via one or two electron(s) transitions. Therefore, molecular interactions between excited-state PS and ground-state O2 is a remarkably favored process. Photodynamic reactions rely principally on such intermolecular events.  As a matter of fact, other secondary photochemical reactions may have some influence upon photodynamic therapy effects, depending on the photosensitizer employed.
