The combined application of two photosensitisers (PSs), zinc(II) phthalocyanine (ZnPc) and the cationic porphyrin meso-tetrakis(4-N-methylpyridyl) porphine (T4MPyP), on HeLa cells produced an enhanced lethal effect relative to treatments with single PSs. Thus, the proper combination of PSs may constitute a new strategy to improve the efficacy of clinical photodynamic therapy.
