Methoxsalen
Methoxsalen is a psoralen-based small molecule that acts as a photosensitizer, generating reactive species upon photoactivation with UVA light. It is widely used in research applications such as studying DNA intercalation, crosslinking (in vitro), and in photochemotherapy (PUVA) models for dermatological conditions (in vivo) .
