• Description: Purpurin is a natural compound that belongs to the group of sodium salts. It has been shown to have antimicrobial activity against many Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, including methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). Purpurin also has antioxidant properties and can be used for the treatment of infectious diseases. The photochemical properties of purpurin have been studied extensively. The matrix effect of purpurin on the cytochrome P450 enzyme system in human serum is well established. Purpurin has been shown to inhibit mitochondrial membrane potential and increase electron transfer resistance in mitochondria from rat liver cells. Purpurin has not been found to be toxic to humans after oral administration, but toxicity studies are still ongoing.
