Effectiveness

How 8-Mop Affects PatientsMethoxsalen stops the body from making DNA. It also alters the amount of guanine and cytosine present in cells. If a large amount of this drug is taken, it can also block cells from making proteins and RNA.
How 8-Mop works in the bodyAfter being activated, this drug targets the guanine and cytosine molecules in DNA, which then links the molecules together and stops DNA from functioning properly.

"5-Methoxypsoralen is thought to increase the risk of skin cancer, as there is a clear correlation between the number of PUVA treatments and the number of basal cell carcinomas.

5-Methoxypsoralen, a naturally occurring linear furocoumarin, has been successfully used in combination with ultraviolet (UV) A irradiation [psoralen plus UV (PUVA)] to manage psoriasis and vitiligo. In patients and volunteers, PUVA 5-methoxypsoralen causes a dose-related increase in cutaneous photosensitivity. 5-Methoxypsoralen is thought to increase the risk of skin cancer, as there is a clear correlation between the number of PUVA treatments and the number of basal cell carcinomas."
