Chlorophyll b
Based on 1 Customer Validation
Chlorophyll b is an orally active tetrapyrrole derivative and pigment. Chlorophyll b can be obtained from photosynthetic organisms such as plants and algae. Chlorophyll b acts as a hydrogen donor and increases Glutathione levels. Chlorophyll b has antioxidant activity and functionally replaces chlorophyll a in photosystem II to participate in photosynthesis. Chlorophyll b reduces Cisplatin (HY-17394)-induced DNA damage, chromosome instability, and oxidative stress. Chlorophyll b is mainly used in the study of plant photosynthesis mechanism.

Biological Activity
Chlorophyll b can serve as the major pigment in functional photosystem II complexes of cyanobacteria when introduced into a photosystem I-less strain of Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803 along with lhcb encoding light-harvesting complex (LHC)II from pea[1].
MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.
Chlorophyll b (0.5 mg/kg; gavage; daily; 13 days) combined with lutein shows antigenotoxic and antimutagenic effects as well as prevents Cisplatin-induced GSH depletion in peripheral blood cells in mice[3].

-
Animal Model:Female and male albino Swiss mice (Mus musculus) (both genders, approximately 30 g, 7-8 weeks old)[3]
-
Dosage:0.5 mg/kg body weight
-
Administration:Administered daily by gavage for 13 consecutive days
-
Result:Presented antigenotoxic and antimutagenic effects in different cell types of mice, such as peripheral blood, bone marrow, liver, and kidney cells.
Prevented the glutathione depletion induced by cisplatin in peripheral blood cells, maintaining the glutathione concentration at a level similar to the control group.
Had no significant effect on catalase activity.
