Cat. No.: HY-U00265 Purity: 98.36%
Handling Instructions Technical Support

3-CPs is a monofunctional furanocoumarin and a photoprotective agent targeting Staphylococcus aureus DNA, possessesing anti-UVB lethal activity. 3-CPs competitively intercalates into DNA, forming exclusively 4',5'-furan-side mono-adducts upon UVB irradiation, and irreversibly inhibits the formation of cyclobutane pyrimidine dimers. 3-CPs prevents UVB-induced DNA damage by preferentially binding to strong (AT)n sites within the DNA, without inducing lethal interstrand DNA cross-links; the limited number of mono-adducts it induces can be efficiently repaired by bacteria. 3-CPs holds potential for use in the development of photoprotective formulations for skin diseases, as well as in studies investigating bacterial DNA photodamage repair mechanisms and the optimization of photochemotherapy safety.

Description

3-CPs is a monofunctional furanocoumarin and a photoprotective agent targeting Staphylococcus aureus DNA, possessesing anti-UVB lethal activity. 3-CPs competitively intercalates into DNA, forming exclusively 4',5'-furan-side mono-adducts upon UVB irradiation, and irreversibly inhibits the formation of cyclobutane pyrimidine dimers. 3-CPs prevents UVB-induced DNA damage by preferentially binding to strong (AT)n sites within the DNA, without inducing lethal interstrand DNA cross-links; the limited number of mono-adducts it induces can be efficiently repaired by bacteria. 3-CPs holds potential for use in the development of photoprotective formulations for skin diseases, as well as in studies investigating bacterial DNA photodamage repair mechanisms and the optimization of photochemotherapy safety[1].

In Vitro

3-CPs (0.02875–0.23 mM; 20 min dark incubation followed by cumulative UVB irradiation for up to 150 s) demonstrates a consistent photoprotective effect against UVB-induced bacterial death in Staphylococcus aureus ISP 255 strain, exhibiting no concentration-dependent differences[1].

MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.

Cell Viability Assay[1]

Cell Line: Staphylococcus aureus ISP 255
Concentration: 0.02875 mM, 0.0575 mM, 0.115 mM, 0.23 mM
Incubation Time: 20 min dark incubation + cumulative UVB irradiation
Result: provided significant and consistent photoprotection against UVB-induced lethality in Staphylococcus aureus ISP 255 at all tested concentrations.
The survival fraction of bacteria plus UVB was substantially higher than that of the UVB-only group, and no obvious concentration-dependent change in protective efficacy was observed.

Help & FAQs
  • Do most proteins show cross-species activity?

    Species cross-reactivity must be investigated individually for each product. Many human cytokines will produce a nice response in mouse cell lines, and many mouse proteins will show activity on human cells. Other proteins may have a lower specific activity when used in the opposite species.
