Active ingredients

The drug OXSORALEN contains one active pharmaceutical ingredient (API):

1 Methoxsalen UNII U4VJ29L7BQ - METHOXSALEN

Methoxsalen, upon photoactivation, conjugates and forms covalent bonds with DNA which leads to the formation of both monofunctional (addition to a single strand of DNA) and bifunctional adducts (crosslinking of psoralen to both strands of DNA). Reactions with proteins have also been described. The formation of photoadducts results in inhibition of DNA synthesis, cell division and epidermal turnover. Read about Methoxsalen
