Application
Trioxsalen has been used for mutagenesis of N2 worms4,5.
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. 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.
