A change of the conformation of hemoglobin
hematoporphyrin (both cytoplasmic and membrane-bound) is may be interconnected with changes in the morphometric indicators of erythrocytes (erythrocyte surface area, phase height, phase volume, and hemoglobin distribution).
Merchat, "Photosensitizing activity of
hematoporphyrin on Staphylococcus aureus cells," Biochimica et Biophysica Acta--General Subjects, vol.
synthesized a conjugate of
hematoporphyrin with gold nanoparticles for PDT; they compared the PDT efficiency in vitro of hematoporphyrin-gold nanocomposites with different diameter.
bryoniae leafminers, for behavioral reasons, were found to be more sensitive than males to
hematoporphyrin dimethyl ether and other photosensitizers like acridine orange, aminolevulinic acid and methylene blue (Luksiene et al.

Photofrin[R] (dihematoporphyrin ether), available for 30 years in its commercial form, and
hematoporphyrin derivatives (HPDs) are referred to as first-generation sensitizers.
Upon illumination
hematoporphyrin or its derivatives visible-absorbing photoproducts were observed by some researchers (Mang et al., 1987; Moan and Kessel, 1988).
