Bergapten Use and Manufacturing

Methods of Manufacturing

Screening scale biotransformation of IMP was carried out in 250-mL Erlenmeyer flasks containing 100 mL of liquid medium. The flasks were placed on a rotary shaker operating at 180 rpm and 27 °C. The substrates were dissolved in acetone to reach a final concentration of 10 mg/mL. After 36 h of pre-culture, 2 mg of IMP were added into each flask. The incubation was allowed to continue for 5 days. Culture controls consisted of fermentation blanks with microorganisms grown under identical non-substrate conditions. Substrate controls were composed of sterile medium with substrate, and they were incubated without microorganisms. (0009) Preparative scale biotransformation of IMP by P. janthinellum AS 3.510 was carried out in a 1-L Erlenmeyer flask. The substrate (10 mg) dissolved in acetone (0.5 mL) was added to pre-cultured medium (400 mL) and was incubated for an additional 5 days. In total, 800 mg of substrate were used for the preparative scale biotransformation. Other procedures were similar to the screening scale biotransformation.The preferred photoactive compounds for use in accordance with the present invention include the following' psoralen; 8-methoxypsoralen; 4, 5'8-trimethylpsoralen; The preferred photoactive compounds for use in accordance with the present invention include the following: psoralen; 8-methoxypsoralen; 4, 5'8-trimethylpsoralen;

Uses

Has been used to promote tanning in suntan preparations.
