Product Name:
Methoxsalen
CAS Number:
298-81-7
Indication:
For the treatment of psoriasis and vitiligo
Mode of Action:

After activation it binds preferentially to the guanine and cytosine moieties of DNA, leading to cross-linking of DNA, thus inhibiting DNA synthesis and function.

Pharmacodynamics:

Methoxsalen selectively inhibits the synthesis of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA). The guanine and cytosine content correlates with the degree of Methoxsalen-induced cross-linking. At high concentrations of the drug, cellular RNA and protein synthesis are also suppressed.
