Methoxsalen solution

Function and Efficacy

Pharmacology: This product (8-MOP) is a derivative of psoralen and a photosensitizer. This drug combined with epidermal cells is easily activated by long-wave ultraviolet rays with a wavelength of 320-400nm to form photoadducts, produce phototoxic reactions, inhibit epidermal cell DNA synthesis and mitosis, and slow down the renewal rate of epidermal cells, thereby playing a therapeutic role in psoriasis. The result of the photosensitivity reaction also increases the activity of tyrosinase in melanocytes, promotes the formation of melanin; promotes the movement of melanocytes in hair follicles into the epidermis, thereby causing pigmentation on the skin, and is used to treat vitiligo. Toxicology: The oral LD50 of this product in mice is 394.9mg/kg±38.5mg/kg. In clinical applications, the dosage is generally calculated as 0.5mg/kg, which is 1/790 of the oral LD50 of mice. After clinical medication, liver and kidney function and blood and urine routine tests were repeatedly performed, and no abnormalities were found.
