- Inhibits the growth of cancer cells Kyse-140 and OE-33 with IC50 values of 1.41 μM and 3.35 μM respectively (1-10 μM, 24 h).
- Acts as a photosensitizer that is taken up by cancer cells and produces Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS) under specific wavelength light irradiation (694 nm).
- Impairs mitochondrial membrane integrity, activates caspase-3, and induces apoptosis.
- Causes long-term damage to the microvascular network of the CAM (10 μM, topical application, single dose).
- Exhibits antitumor activity in chick chorioallantoic membrane models.
