Cercosporin is produced by a plant pathogen, Pseudocercosporella capsellae. Cercosporin is a potent photosensitizer with a short activation wavelength, mostly suitable for superficial photodynamic therapy (PDT) treatments, especially when it is necessary to avoid perforations. Cercosporin contains the perylenequinone structural features necessary to PKC activity with an IC50 of 0.6-1.3 μM.

Description

Cercosporin is produced by a plant pathogen, Pseudocercosporella capsellae. Cercosporin is a potent photosensitizer with a short activation wavelength, mostly suitable for superficial photodynamic therapy (PDT) treatments, especially when it is necessary to avoid perforations[1]. Cercosporin contains the perylenequinone structural features necessary to PKC activity with an IC50 of 0.6-1.3 μM[2].

IC50 & Target

IC50: 0.6-1.3 μM (PKC)[2]
In Vitro

Cercosporin (0.8-8.0 μM; 30 s, 60 s, 90 s, 120 s) photodynamic therapy (PDT) effect is stronger in T98G cells than in U87 or MCF7 cells, the LD50 value for the T98G cells (0.14 J cm2) is much less than the LD50 value for MCF-7 and U87 cell lines (0.26 and 0.24 J cm2, respectively)[1].
Cercosporin (0-3 μΜ; 24 hours) interplays with copper results in a synergistic cytotoxicity in MCF7 and T98G cells, that is, S(CuSO4 + Cerco) ≪ S(CuSO4) x S(Cerco), barely has an additive effect in U87 cells[1].

MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.

Help & FAQs
  • Do most proteins show cross-species activity?

    Species cross-reactivity must be investigated individually for each product. Many human cytokines will produce a nice response in mouse cell lines, and many mouse proteins will show activity on human cells. Other proteins may have a lower specific activity when used in the opposite species.
