Trioxsalen (BioDeep_00000002503)

描述信息

Trioxsalen, also known as trimethylpsoralen or trisoralen, is a member of the class of compounds known as psoralens. Psoralens are organic compounds containing a psoralen moiety, which consists of a furan fused to a chromenone to for 7H-furo[3,2-g]chromen-7-one. Trioxsalen is practically insoluble (in water) and an extremely weak basic (essentially neutral) compound (based on its pKa). Trioxsalen can be found in wild celery, which makes trioxsalen a potential biomarker for the consumption of this food product. Trioxsalen can be found primarily in blood and urine. Trioxsalen (trimethylpsoralen, Trioxysalen or Trisoralen) is a furanocoumarin and a psoralen derivative. It is obtained from several plants, mainly Psoralea corylifolia. Like other psoralens it causes photosensitization of the skin. It is administered either topically or orally in conjunction with UV-A (the least damaging form of ultraviolet light) for phototherapy treatment of vitiligo and hand eczema. After photoactivation it creates interstrand cross-links in DNA, which can cause programmed cell death unless repaired by cellular mechanisms. In research it can be conjugated to dyes for confocal microscopy and used to visualize sites of DNA damage. The compound is also being explored for development of antisense oligonucleotides that can be cross-linked specifically to a mutant mRNA sequence without affecting normal transcripts differing at even a single base pair . Trioxsalen ispharmacologically inactive but when exposed to ultraviolet radiation or sunlight it is converted to its active metabolite to produce a beneficial reaction affecting the diseased tissue (DrugBank).
Trioxsalen, also known as trimethylpsoralen, trioxysalen or trisoralen, belongs to the group of drugs called psoralens. It is also known as a furanocoumarin (PMID: 3196695). Trioxsalen is a pigmenting photosensitizing agent used to treat vitiligo, a condition characterized by loss of skin color (PMID: 4828534, 4441118). It is administered in conjunction with ultraviolet light A (UVA) to increase the skins sensitivity to sunlight. Trioxsalen functions through inducing interstrand crosslinks in DNA. It has been reported that use of trioxsalen increases the chance of skin cancer and cataracts. Trioxsalen is only found in individuals that have used or taken this drug.

Trioxsalen (Trisoralen), a psoralen derivative, is a photochemical DNA crosslinker. Trioxsalen only works after photoactivation with near ultraviolet light. Trioxsalen is a photosensitizer that can be used for the research of vitiligo and hand eczema. Trioxsalen is used for visualization of genomic interstrand cross-links localized by laser photoactivation
