Beschreibung

Application

Trioxsalen has been used for mutagenesis of N2 worms^4,5.

Trioxsalen has been used:

• to induce small deletion mutations in worms
• in combination with ultraviolet A (UVA)
• to induce interstrand crosslinks (ICLs) in DNA
• for the preparation and photoactivation of trimethyl psoralen

Biochem/physiol Actions

Photochemical crosslinker of DNA that has been used as a probe for nucleic acid structure and function.

Photochemical crosslinker of DNA that has been used as a probe for nucleic acid structure and function. Trioxsalen has also been used to crosslink DNA onto mica surfaces.

Trioxsalen (TRX) is a 4,5′,8-trimethylated psoralen analog, which belongs to the family of furocoumarins. It is mostly used to treat psoriasis.[1]
