HYPOCRELLIN B

SKU: orb1301497

Description

Hypocrellin B is a natural photosensitive pigment derived from Hypocrella bambusae. It acts as a photosensitizer in photodynamic therapy research, inducing apoptosis in cancer cells like ovarian carcinoma and exhibiting antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus through ROS generation and cell wall damage.

Bioactivity

• In Vitro:
  Photodynamic therapy with hypocrellin B remarkably induced apoptosis and inhibited adhesion and migration of cancer cells in vitro.
• Cell Research:
  Human ovarian cancer HO-8910 cell as a cancer model cell was incubated with hypocrellin B at a concentration of 2.5 μM for 5 h and irradiated by light from a light-emitting diodes (LED) source. Cell apoptosis was analyzed by flow cytometry with annexin V/propidium iodide (PI) staining and nuclear staining 6 h after hypocrellin B photoirradiation. Cell adhesion was assessed using the 3-(4, 5-dimthylthiazol-2-yl)-2, 5 diphenyl-tetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay 4 h after photodynamic treatment. Cell migration was measured 48 h after photodynamic treatment.
