This review describes recent advances in the development of DNA- photocleavage agents. Major mechanisms of photosensitized DNA photocleavage are presented and the most popular categories of compounds are considered, which include metal complexes and many organic functional derivatives. DNA-targeted conjugates of photosensitizers are also described and discussed.
