Hypocrellin B (Standard)

• Description :

  Hypocrellin B (Standard) is the analytical standard of Hypocrellin B. This product is intended for research and analytical applications. Hypocrellin B, a pigment isolated from the fungi Hypocrella bambusae and Shiraia bambusicola, is an apoptosis inducer. Hypocrellin B can be used as a photosensitizer for photodynamic therapy of cancer. Hypocrellin B also has antimicrobial and antileishmanial activities[1][2][3].
