hypocrellin C - Introduction
Hypocrellin C(Hypocrellin C) is a natural pigment, mainly found in the bamboo red fungus (Hypocrella bambusae). Its chemical structure includes a benzofuran ring and a benzofuran camptothecin ring, and contains some hydroxyl and ketone groups. Hypocrellin C is a photosensitizer with a strong ability to absorb ultraviolet and visible light.
Hypocrellin C has a wide range of uses in medicine and photochemical therapy. It can be used in the photodynamic treatment of diseases such as cancer and skin diseases. In the course of treatment, Hypocrellin C generates reactive oxygen species by absorbing light energy, thereby destroying the diseased tissue. In addition, Hypocrellin C can also be used in anti-inflammatory, antibacterial and antioxidant applications.
The main methods for preparing Hypocrellin C are extraction and fermentation. In the extraction method, Hypocrellin C is extracted from Rhodococcus sp. By using an organic solvent, such as ethanol or ethyl acetate. The fermentation method is the production of Hypocrellin C through a culture and fermentation process using a culture medium and a strain of Hypocrellin.
As far as safety information is concerned, although hypocrelin C has certain medicinal and biological activities, its obvious toxic and side effects on the human body have not been reported. However, due to its light-sensitive properties, the use of Hypocrellin C treatment requires close monitoring of light conditions to avoid unnecessary light damage.
