Chlorin e6 (Ce6) is a photosensitizer possessing prominent absorption peaks at 402 nm and 662 nm with intense fluorescence emission at 668 nm, demonstrating both antimicrobial and anticancer activities. Upon light irradiation, Chlorin e6 generates reactive oxygen species that activate caspase-3 and initiate apoptotic signaling pathways. This phototoxic response induces cell death and suppresses tumor growth, highlighting its utility in photodynamic therapy research.
