Abstract | PURPOSE: METHODS: RESULTS: Those formulations in which the drug was in a monomeric form were better able to transfer drug to lipoproteins, which in turn led to superior PDT in vivo. CONCLUSIONS: The ability to introduce drug in monomeric form into the circulation correlates well with efficacy of photosensitizer formulations in mouse arthritis and tumor models.
