Fungal perylenequinones have photodynamic activity and are promising photosensitizers for photodynamic therapy (PDT). Here, we investigated the bactericidal and antitumor activities of phleichrome from the fungal perylenequinone family . Photodynamic bactericidal activity of phleichrome was analyzed by agar-well diffusion method under dark and illuminated conditions. The photodynamic antitumor activity of phleichrome was analyzed in MCF-7, HeLa, SW480, and HepG2 human cancer cell lines using cytotoxicity assays. Photodynamic bactericidal activities against Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria were species-specific. Antitumor activity against all tumor cell lines increased under the illuminated condition. Depending on the results of the analyses, Phleichrome has potential for further drug development related to its antibacterial and antitumor activities.
真菌苝醌类化合物具有光动力活性,是光动力疗法(PDT)中很有前景的光敏剂。在此,我们研究了真菌苝醌家族中的弗氏色素的杀菌和抗肿瘤活性。采用琼脂孔扩散法在黑暗和光照条件下分析了弗氏色素的光动力杀菌活性。使用细胞毒性试验在MCF-7、HeLa、SW480和HepG2人癌细胞系中分析了弗氏色素的光动力抗肿瘤活性。对革兰氏阴性菌和革兰氏阳性菌的光动力杀菌活性具有种属特异性。在光照条件下,对所有肿瘤细胞系的抗肿瘤活性均有所增加。根据分析结果,弗氏色素因其抗菌和抗肿瘤活性在进一步的药物开发方面具有潜力。
