Spatially resolved two-photon irradiation of an intracellular singlet oxygen photosensitizer: correlating cell response to the site of localized irradiation.

abstract：:Hypericin and pseudohypericin are polycyclic-phenolic structurally related compounds found in Hypericum perforatum L. (St John's wort). As hypericin has been found to bind to LDL one may assume that it can act as antioxidant of LDL lipid oxidation, a property which is of prophylactic/therapeutic interest regarding ath...
