Hypericin sodium

CAS: 144788-48-7

Hypericin sodium is a sodium salt form of hypericin, which is a naturally occurring naphthodianthrone derivative. It is sourced primarily from the plant species Hypericum perforatum, commonly known as St. John's Wort. The compound exhibits intriguing properties, notable for its photodynamic action. When activated by specific wavelengths of light, hypericin sodium generates reactive oxygen species (ROS), leading to subsequent cellular changes. This attribute makes it a candidate for photodynamic therapy (PDT), a treatment strategy in oncological and antimicrobial applications.
