Lumichrome 是人类体内的内源性化合物，由核黄素光降解产生。它利用p53 依赖机制抑制人肺癌细胞生长并诱导凋亡。

Lumichrome is a natural metabolite of riboflavin. Lumichrome produced by Rhizobium and other bacterial species induces major developmental changes in plants at nanomolar concentrations. Lumichrome can stimulate larval metamorphosis in ascidians and activate the LasR quorum sensing receptor of bacteria. Lumichrome competitively inhibits the uptake of riboflavin by riboflavin transporters from prokaryotes and eukaryotes.
