Abstract
A method is provided for preventing or reducing the adverse effects of photodynamic therapy such as collateral damage by regulating the localized phototoxicity of an effector photosensitizer molecule. During photodynamic therapy, the activity of the effector photosensitizer molecule in neighboring tissues of the tissue targeted for destruction is quenched by a quenching photosensitizer molecule.
