Possible Interaction: Antioxidants and Hypericin

supplement:

Antioxidants

Research Papers that Mention the Interaction

The influence of antioxidants (ascorbic acid and quercetin) on hypericin photodynamic action has revealed that these antioxidants suppress or stimulate photohemolysis caused by hypericin.
The photosensitization reaction realized by hypericin could be shifted from type II to type I or vice versa by manipulating the antioxidant concentration.
Thus the selection of antioxidant concentrations is of extreme importance for changing the efficacy of photodynamic therapy with hypericin.
