In Vitro

Hypocrellin B (2.5 μM, 4 h) induces cell cytotoxicity 24 h after sonodynamic therapy (SDT) in HepG2 cells, and induces induce the early apoptosis[2].
Hypocrellin B shows antifungal and anti-parasite activity against C. albicans and Leishmania donovani respectively (IC50: 5 and 12.7 μg/mL)[3].

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.
