Abstract
Curcumin (Hcur) as a cellular imaging and PDT agent shows remarkable photocytotoxicity in HeLa cells in visible light of 400-700 nm giving IC(50) = 8.2 ± 0.2 μM and its degradation is arrested on formation of photocytotoxic dipyridophenazine (dppz) complex [VO(cur)(dppz)Cl] (IC(50) = 3.3 ± 0.4 μM), while both are less toxic in the dark.Entities:
