Figure 3. The effect of photodynamic therapy on mitochondria. Photosensitizers such as Mito-1, hypericin, and Pix, under the influence of a certain wavelength, enter the excited state. From the excited state, they can spontaneously enter the triplet state. The triplet photosensitizer, when interacting with O2, turns it into ROS. ROS in mitochondria contribute to the activation of mitophagy processes.
