trioxsalen and Inflammation

trioxsalen has been researched along with Inflammation in 3 studies

Trioxsalen: Pigmenting photosensitizing agent obtained from several plants, mainly Psoralea corylifolia. It is administered either topically or orally in conjunction with ultraviolet light in the treatment of vitiligo.
lactone : Any cyclic carboxylic ester containing a 1-oxacycloalkan-2-one structure, or an analogue having unsaturation or heteroatoms replacing one or more carbon atoms of the ring.
antipsoriatic : A drug used to treat psoriasis.
trioxsalen : 7H-Furo[3,2-g]chromen-7-one in which positions 2, 5, and 9 are substituted by methyl groups. Like other psoralens, trioxsalen causes photosensitization of the skin. It is administered orally in conjunction with UV-A for phototherapy treatment of vitiligo. After photoactivation it creates interstrand cross-links in DNA, inhibiting DNA synthesis and cell division, and can lead to cell injury; recovery from the cell injury may be followed by increased melanisation of the epidermis.

Inflammation: A pathological process characterized by injury or destruction of tissues caused by a variety of cytologic and chemical reactions. It is usually manifested by typical signs of pain, heat, redness, swelling, and loss of function.

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
" Analog 19 was a more potent anti-inflammatory agent than the reference compound indomethacin and of comparable cytocompatibility to 8-MOP whereas analog 24 was a weaker inhibitor of inflammation than indomethacin and significantly more cytotoxic than 8-MOP."3.79Syntheses and evaluation of the antioxidant activity of novel methoxypsoralen derivatives. ( Athanassopoulos, CM; Avgoustakis, K; Bariamis, SE; Hadjipavlou-Litina, D; Kontogiorgis, C; Marin, M; Papaioannou, D; Romeo, G; Sindona, G; Tsimali, Z, 2013)
" The most potent compound, namely TRX derivative 3, was studied for its anti-inflammatory activity in vivo on rat paw edema induced by carrageenan, and was found to be of almost identical activity to indomethacin."3.75Trioxsalen derivatives with lipoxygenase inhibitory activity. ( Athanassopoulos, CM; E Bariamis, S; Hadjipavlou-Litina, D; Militsopoulou, M; Papaioannou, D, 2009)
