chlorin e6

Chlorin e6 is a special type of molecule used in medicine and research, primarily in a process called photodynamic therapy. When exposed to specific light, it becomes activated and produces reactive oxygen species that can target and destroy cancer cells or harmful bacteria. Originally derived from plant or other natural sources, chlorin e6 is valued for its ability to accumulate selectively in certain cells, making treatments more precise. Its use helps in targeting diseases with minimal damage to healthy tissue, and it’s also studied for imaging and diagnostic purposes.
