Protohypericin (Standard)
Protohypericin is a compound that can be extracted from Hypericum perforatum. Protohypericin has low photocytotoxicity but can be efficiently photoconverted into Hypericin (HY-N0453) with high phototoxicity under visible light. Protohypericin can be used in cancer research[1][2][3][4].
