Abstract

Curcumin (Hcur) as a cellular imaging and PDT agent shows remarkable photocytotoxicity in HeLa cells in visible light of 400-700 nm giving IC50 = 8.2 +/- 0.2 mu M and its degradation is arrested on formation of photocytotoxic dipyridophenazine (dppz) complex VO(cur)(dppz)Cl] (IC50 = 3.3 +/- 0.4 mu M), while both are less toxic in the dark.
