Protohypericin (Standard)
Protohypericin is a compound that can be extracted from Hypericum perforatum. Protohypericin has low photocytotoxicity but can be efficiently photoconverted into Hypericin with high phototoxicity under visible light. Protohypericin can be used in cancer research[1][2][3][4].
