Informazioni sul prodotto

• Sinonimi: Heraclin 5-Methoxypsoralen Bergapten 4-Methoxyfuro[3,2-g]benzopyrane-7-one
• Marchio: Biosynth
• Descrizione: Bergapten is a naturally occurring furanocoumarin, which is derived from the essential oils of citrus fruits, such as bergamot. It is recognized for its photosensitizing properties due to its ability to interact with DNA upon exposure to ultraviolet (UV) light. The mode of action involves the formation of monoadducts with pyrimidine bases in DNA, which can lead to cross-linking and ultimately disrupt DNA replication and transcription.
