Product Data Sheet

Dithranol

Catalog No. A17404

main product photo
Anthralin, also known as Dithranol, is a hepsin activity inhibitor used for treatment of psoriasis Inhibition of hepsin activity suppresses the invasive growth of the tumor. Anthralin exerts a direct effect on keratinocytes and leukocytes. Anthralin significantly prolonged the prophase of mitotic keratinocytes in subtoxic doses and suppressed the expression of keratin 6 mRNA in the immediately suprabasal layer of psoriatic epidermis in vivo. Anthralin also inhibits the transformation of lymphocytes and the release of reactive oxygen species from activated leukocytes, in vitro.
