Rose Bengal acetate

10/01/2004 - "The Golgi apparatus is a primary site of intracellular damage after photosensitization with Rose Bengal acetate."
03/01/2009 - "Photosensitization of tumor cells after incubation with Rose Bengal acetate (RB-Ac) induces multiple organelle photodamage followed by apoptotic cell death. "
03/01/2009 - "Enzyme-assisted photosensitization activates different apoptotic pathways in Rose Bengal acetate treated HeLa cells."
03/01/2007 - "Enzyme-assisted photosensitization with rose Bengal acetate induces structural and functional alteration of mitochondria in HeLa cells."
03/01/2007 - "Rose Bengal acetate (RB-Ac) can be used as a fluorogenic substrate for photosensitization of cells both in vivo and in vitro: once inside the cells, RB-Ac is converted into photoactive rose Bengal (RB) molecules which redistribute dynamically in the cytoplasm and, upon irradiation by visible green light, can damage organelles such as the endoplasmic reticulum, the Golgi apparatus, and the cytoskeleton. "

03/01/2009 - "Photosensitization of tumor cells after incubation with Rose Bengal acetate (RB-Ac) induces multiple organelle photodamage followed by apoptotic cell death. "
11/15/2010 - "The simultaneous onset of apoptosis and autophagy following Rose Bengal Acetate PDT is of remarkable interest in light of the findings that autophagy can result in the class II presentation of antigens and thus, explain why low dose PDT can yield anti-tumor immune responses."

09/01/1997 - "The intracellular turnover of rose bengal acetate was studied in rat glioma-derived cultures cells, in terms of the balance of the processes of influx and enzyme hydrolysis of the fluorogenic substrate, and of the efflux of the fluorescent product. "
