Elsinochrome A
Elsinochrome A is a perylene quinone photosensitizer, and can generate reactive oxygen species (ROS) to induce apoptosis and autophagy under light excitation. Elsinochrome A also shows antifungal activity against C. albicans biofilm through photodynamic antimicrobial chemotherapy (PACT). Elsinochrome A can be used for research of photodynamic therapy (PDT) (Ex: 460 nm).

Biological Activity
Elsinochrome A (0-3 μM, 5 min) reduces survival rate, induces intracellular ROS production, induces formation of autophagosomes and induces apoptosis under light illumination in B16 cells[1].
Elsinochrome A (0.3-3 μM, 5 min) is located in the mitochondria of the B16 cells[1].
Elsinochrome A (0-32 μg/mL, 24 or 48 h) shows antifungal activity against C. albicans after irradiation[2].
MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.
