8-Methoxypsoralen analytical standard Synonym: 8-MOP, 9-Methoxyfuro[3,2-g][1]benzopyran-7-one, Ammoidin, Methoxsalen, Xanthotoxin CAS Number 298-81-7 Empirical Formula (Hill Notation) C12H8O4 Molecular Weight 216.19 Properties grade analytical standard form neat powder application(s) HPLC: suitable gas chromatography (GC): suitable color white to yellow mp 148-150C(lit.) solubility H2O: slightly soluble acetic acid: soluble format neat Gene Information rat ... Maoa(29253) Description Biochem/physiol Actions 8-methoxypsoralen (8-MOP) plus ultraviolet A (UVA) irradiation induces monoadducts and interstrand cross-links in DNA and therefore can be used to study DNA repair and recombination mechanisms. Cultured normal human melanocytes treated with 8-methoxypsoralen and irradiated with ultraviolet A (UVA) formed 8-methoxypsoralen-phospholipid photoadducts that could be substituted for diacylglycerol to activate protein kinase C in a cell-free system. 8-MOP is an inactivator of purified reconstituted cytochrome P450. It also inhibits substance P-induced histamine release from substance P-activated rat peritoneal mast cells by suppressing the rise in [Ca2+]. Caution Protect from light.
