Spectroscopic study on the sonodynamic and sonocatalytic damage of anthraquinone derivants to bovine serum albumin under ultrasonic irradiation

► Anthraquinone derivants were used to study the sonodynamic and sonocatalytic damage to BSA. ► The generations of ROS during sonodynamic and sonocatalytic process were estimated. ► Some quenchers were used to determine the kind of the ROS.
