Fornisce a ricercatori, amministratori e valutatori gli strumenti per monitorare i risultati della ricerca, aumentarne la visibilità e allocare in modo efficace le risorse disponibili.
English3-Carbethoxyangelicin (3-CA), carrying an electron-withdrawing group at the pyrone side, has been prepared to have a fully monofunctional angelicin derivative. 3-CA does not photoreact with DNA and induces a moderate antiproliferative activity. 3-CA proved to be extremely sensitive to ultraviolet A (UVA) light, undergoing rapid photolysis. Only one photolysis product has been isolated and identified. By means of alkaline elution, we observed that 3-CA and its photolysis products are able to induce a large amount of single-strand breaks in DNA in vivo. The results obtained from studying the capacity to produce singlet oxygen suggest that the photodynamic mechanism of action of 3-CA very likely results from its capacity--as well as that of its photolysis products--to produce singlet oxygen.

Only one photolysis product has been isolated and identified.
