Amotosalen
Based on 1 publication(s) in Google Scholar
Amotosalen (S-59 (free base)) is a light-activated, DNA and RNA-crosslinking psoralen compound, which is used to neutralise pathogens. Light-activated Amotosalen binds and permanently crosslinks DNA, preventing replication and thus stopping proliferation of donor T cells. Amotosalen can be used for the study of blood system pathogen reduction technology and graft-versus-host disease (GVHD).

Biological Activity
When activated by light, Amotosalen binds to the nucleic acid of the pathogen and prevents replication. Light-activated Amotosalen binds and permanently crosslinks DNA, preventing replication and thus stopping proliferation of donor T cells[1].
