The degradation of sensitizers used in photodynamic therapy (PDT) involves photooxidation either by molecular oxygen or by oxygen intermediates which leads to hydroxyaldehyde and formyl products or to ring opening. Our investigations focused on the spectroscopic changes which protoporphyrin-dimethylester (PP)
