Stability Light Sensitive
Applications Pyropheophorbide A Methyl Ester is a chlorophyll (C379815) analog for studies of photosynthesis. Methyl pyropheophorbide a (Pyropheophorbide-a methyl ester), a chlorophyll-a derivative, and is a potent photosensitizer that can be used in photodynamic therapy (PDT) of cancer. Methyl pyropheophorbide a has photodynamic activity and can induce apoptosis and inhibit tumor growth.

Applications Scutellarin is an active flavonoid component from the medical plant Erigeron breviscapus (Vant) Hand-Mazz. Scutellarin is used as a micrpcirculation promoter for the treatment of cardio-cerebrovascular diseases. Studies suggest that Scutellarin has anti-cancer properties and has been shown to enhance apoptosis of tumor cells.
