Low toxicity at therapeutic doses in light and darkness.
Highly tumor-targeting accumulation and fast elimination from the skin and epithelium.
Absorption peak in the low-loss transmission window of biological tissues (the far-red
and near-infrared regions).
Optimum ratio of the fluorescence/interconversion quantum yield (the first parameter
determines the photosensitizer diagnostic capabilities, it plays a key role in
monitoring the photosensitizer accumulation in tissues and its clearance from them;
the last parameter determines the photosensitizer ability to generate singlet oxygen).
High quantum yield of singlet oxygen production in vivo.
Available obtaining or synthesis, homogeneous composition.
High solubility in water, injection solutions and blood substitutes.
