Abstract

We first synthesized and characterized a monomer ruthenium complex of hypocrellin B (HB) by chelation with Ru(bpy)2Cl2 (in which bpy = 2,2′-bipyridine). It possesses the photosensitizing properties and can be applied in photodynamic therapy (PDT). The chemiluminescence assays indicated that the photodamage ability of the complex is stronger than that of HB.
