Products with Photosensitizer bioactivity
| Cat.No. | Product Name |

| BCN1042 | Aloin A |
| Plants containing aloin A, aloe emodin, and structurally related anthraquinones have long been used as traditional medicines and in the formulation of retail products such as laxatives, dietary supplements, and cosmetics; however, topically applied aloe emodin increases the sensitivity of skin to UV light, although aloin A is not directly photocytotoxic, but human skin fibroblasts can metabolize aloin A to aloe emodin. Aloin A and aloe emodin have antibacterial activity against Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. | |
| BCN1534 | trans-4-(Trifluoromethyl)cinnamic acid |
| trans-4-(Trifluoromethyl)cinnamic acid is a photosensitive compound. | |
| BCN3396 | Hypocrellin A |
| 1. Hypocrellin A , an a natural perylene quinine photosensitizers (PSs), can chelate with heavy metal ions, including Au(III) and Pt(IV), to form a 1:2 complex . 2. Hypocrellin A has light-induced antitumor activity . 3. Hypocrellin A has antifungal and antiviral activities. 4. Hypocrellin A exerts immunomodulatory effects on MHC-restricted presentation of antigen. | |
| BCN4298 | Rubiadin 1-methyl ether |
| Rubiadin-1-methyl ether probed as Type I photosensitizers. Rubiadin 1-methyl ether decreases the number of parasites (schizonts) in a dose-dependent manner, and 100% of inhibition was obtained with 30 to 40 micrograms. Rubiadin-1-methyl ether shows strong enhancing activity for adipocyte differentiation, it could be beneficial in the treatment of diabetes. Rubiadin-1-methyl ether has therapeutic potential against osteoporosis, it can promote osteoblast proliferation and inhibit osteoclast TRAP activity and bone resorption, and the inhibitory effects on osteoclastic bone, antiosteoporotic activity of M. officinalis . | |
