SYMPOSIUM 16: ALA Photodynamic Therapy and Photodetection, Papers 194-196
Chair: Thomas Foster, University of Rochester, Rochester, NY

This symposium sponsored in part by DUSA Pharmaceuticals.

Since the pioneering work of Malik, Kennedy and Pottier more than a decade ago, research on themechanisms of ALA-based PDT and fluorescence photodetection has expanded greatly. The US FDA approval of ALA-PDT for actinic keratosis and the several promising clinical applications currently under investigation motivate the sustained interest in this fascinating and unique form of photosensitization. It is now appreciated that complex molecular, cellular and physiological factors may influence the synthesis and accumulation of ALA-induced protoporphyrin IX, and the understanding of the details of these dependencies will aid in the optimization of this approach to PDT and fluorescence detection of disease. The purpose of this symposium is to summarize some of our present knowledge of these issues and to indicate particularly promising near term research directions and clinical applications.

SYMPOSIUM 17: Cardiovascular Photobiology, Papers 205-210
Chair: Kathryn Woodburn, Pharmacyclics, Sunnyvale, CA

Photobiology has been therapeutically applied to an increasing number of cardiovascular indications. With conventional interventional tools there is a real risk of damage to the normal vessel wall while the hallmark of many photobiologic therapies is inherent selectivity. Nonclincial studies with many photosensitizers have demonstrated prevention of intimal hyperplasia and reduction in atheromatous plaque. Currently, two photosensitizers are undergoing clinical evaluation with many in preclinical testing. Here, preclinical, mechanism of action studies and the clinical viability of this new field will be discussed.

SYMPOSIUM 18: Generation and Turnover of Peroxide Intermediates in Photobiological
Systems,
Papers 211-215
Chair: Albert Girotti, Medical College of Wisconsin, Milwaukee, WI and Michael Davies, Heart Research Institute, Sydney, Australia

This symposium sponsored in part by Bruker Instruments, Inc.

Photodynamic action on biological targets such as nucleic acids, proteins, and lipids produces a plethora of reactive intermediates and products. The former include a variety of species broadly classified as peroxides, e.g. endoperoxides and hydroperoxides. If such species escape detoxification, they may undergo light-independent metal-catalyzed or thermal decomposition, thereby giving rise to free radicals which can amplify and extend the damaging effects of photoperoxidation alone. Little is known about such processes in the case of primary lipid hydroperoxides and much less in the case of protein and nucleic acid peroxides. This symposium will focus on recent developments in this area.
