Abstract: Provided is a conjugate for photodynamic diagnosis or treatment in which a peptide binds with a photosensitizer via an intracellularly degradable linkage, and a composition for photodynamic diagnosis or treatment including the same. The conjugate generates no fluorescent signal and reactive oxygen in normal tissues or during the circulation in the blood by quenching a fluorescent signal and reactive oxygen generation ability of the photosensitizer.

The conjugate has high tissue permeability, shows a high photodynamic therapeutic effect in only target cells while being safe in normal cells, and can obtain a good diagnostic image having a high ratio of target signal to background.
