Abstract

The complex of Hypocrellin A with Al3+ is prepared in water solution by a facile method. The water-solubility and stability of complexes are improved. Irradiation of Al3+–HA complex results in higher efficient generation of singlet oxygen (1O2) and photocleavage ability to CT DNA than HA. In vitro studies have illustrated that the Al3+–HA complex has anti-cancer activity.
