| Bioactivity | Indocyanine green (Foxgreen) is a low toxicic fluorescent agent that has been widely used in medical diagnostics, such as determining cardiac output, hepatic function, and liver blood flow, and for ophthalmic angiography. |
| Invitro | Indocyanine green (Foxgreen)-photodynamic therapy (ICG-PDT) at concentrations 1000 μg/mL, induces the significant expression of BAX in HGF cells; however, the laser irradiation as well as ICG shows no significant effects on the expression of BCL-2 gene[1]. |
