methoxsalen and Sunburn

methoxsalen has been researched along with Sunburn in 31 studies

Methoxsalen: A naturally occurring furocoumarin compound found in several species of plants, including Psoralea corylifolia. It is a photoactive substance that forms DNA ADDUCTS in the presence of ultraviolet A irradiation.
methoxsalen : A member of the class of psoralens that is 7H-furo[3,2-g]chromen-7-one in which the 9 position is substituted by a methoxy group. It is a constituent of the fruits of Ammi majus. Like other psoralens, trioxsalen causes photosensitization of the skin. It is administered topically or orally in conjunction with UV-A for phototherapy treatment of vitiligo and severe psoriasis.

Sunburn: An injury to the skin causing erythema, tenderness, and sometimes blistering and resulting from excessive exposure to the sun. The reaction is produced by the ultraviolet radiation in sunlight.

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"Because heat has been reported to influence adversely short- and long-term ultraviolet (UV)-radiation-induced skin damage in animals, we investigated the short-term effects of infrared radiation on sunburn and on phototoxic reactions to topical methoxsalen and anthracene in human volunteers."5.05The influence of infrared radiation on short-term ultraviolet-radiation-induced injuries. ( Kaidbey, KH; Kligman, AM; Witkowski, TA, 1982)
" Two clinical methods on human skin (inhibition of UVA-induced tanning with the use of a high-intensity UVA source and inhibition of methoxsalen plus UVA-induced phototoxicity) were compared with a method in animals (inhibition of UVA-induced sunburn cell production in mice treated with methoxsalen) and with two in vitro techniques (solution-dilution and sandwich spectrophotometry)."3.67Evaluating the UVA protection of sunscreens. ( Garmyn, M; Roelandts, R; Sohrabvand, N, 1989)
" The difference between the slopes of the dose-response curves of the control group and the four sunscreens was highly significant (p less than 0."1.28Modification of sunburn cell production in 8-MOP sensitized mouse epidermis: a method of assessing UVA sunscreen efficacy. ( Garmyn, M; Roelandts, R; Sohrabvand, N, 1989)
"In 8-methoxypsoralen (8-MOP) photosensitization, SBCs were also produced and this response is dose related with respect to long wave UVR dose."1.26The sunburn cell in mouse skin: preliminary quantitative studies on its production. ( Magnus, IA; Woodcock, A, 1976)
