Methoxsalen-d₃  (Synonyms: 花椒毒素-d₃; 8-Methoxypsoralen-d₃; Xanthotoxin-d₃; 8-MOP-d₃)

Methoxsalen-d₃ is the deuterium labeled Methoxsalen[1]. Methoxsalen (8-Methoxypsoralen) is a potent tricyclic furocoumarin suicide inhibitor of CYP (cytochrome P-450), is an agent used to treat psoriasis, eczema, vitiligo and some cutaneous Lymphomas in conjunction with exposing the skin to sunlight[2].

Stable heavy isotopes of hydrogen, carbon, and other elements have been incorporated into drug molecules, largely as tracers for quantitation during the drug development process. Deuteration has gained attention because of its potential to affect the pharmacokinetic and metabolic profiles of drugs^[1].

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