Ref. 3D-FZ36686

Product Information

• Name: Zinc phthalocyanine
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: Zinc phthalocyanine is a blue dye that is used in the manufacture of paints, plastics, and rubber. It has been shown to be a potential cancer treatment for skin cancer because it absorbs ultraviolet light. Zinc phthalocyanine can also be used in wastewater treatment as a coagulant and disinfectant. In addition, zinc phthalocyanine has been shown to have anti-microbial properties against opportunistic fungal and bacterial infections. This compound is also an antioxidant that can protect cells from damage caused by reactive oxygen species. Zinc phthalocyanine's photophysical properties are characterized by its absorption spectrum, which includes the visible region of the electromagnetic spectrum between 400 nm and 700 nm. It is a strong electron acceptor with a redox potential of -0.4 V at pH 7 and 0°C. This molecule also inhibits cytochrome P450 activity in model systems.
