Hypocrellin B(CAT: M025103) is a naturally occurring perylenequinone derivative found in certain fungi, particularly Hypocrella bambusae. Its mode of action involves being a photosensitizer with potential photodynamic therapy (PDT) applications. Pharmacologically, hypocrellin B has been studied for its phototoxic effects when activated by light, leading to the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) that induce cell death and damage in targeted cells. As a photosensitizer, hypocrellin B shows promise in PDT, a treatment approach for certain types of cancer and skin diseases.
