Pheophorbide a may regulate Jasmonate signaling during dark-induced senescence [PDF]
, 2020 Chlorophyll degradation is one of the most visible signs of leaf senescence. During senescence, chlorophyll is degraded in the multistep pheophorbide a oxygenase (PAO)/phyllobilin pathway.

Mechanism of photodynamic activity of pheophorbides
Journal of Biomedical Optics, 2001 Plasmid DNA is efficiently photocleaved by sodium pheophorbides (Na-Phdes) a and b in the absence of oxygen as well as in the presence of oxygen. Fluorescence microscopic observation shows a rapid incorporation of Na-Phde a into nuclei, mitochondria, and lysosome of human oral mucosa cells.

Pheophorbide a Is a Specific Probe for ABCG2 Function and Inhibition [PDF]
Cancer Research, 2004 Abstract Pheophorbide a (PhA), a chlorophyll catabolite, was shown to be an ABCG2 substrate based on Abcg2−/− knockout mouse studies (J. W. Jonker et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA, 99: 15649–15654, 2002). We developed a functional assay for ABCG2 using PhA and the ABCG2 inhibitor fumitremorgin C.
