General description
Dithranol (1, 8 - dihydroxy-9-anthrone) is also called as anthralin. It is a vital topical antipsoriatic drugs. Dithranol, an athracene derivative, is a free radical generating mitochondrial poison that induces apoptosis in keratinocytes.
Application
Dithranol, a potential anti-psoriasis medication, may be used to study its safety, efficacy, metabolism and pharmacological profile. Dithranol may be used to study is physicochemical properties, as a reference compound and to develop effective drug delivery vehicles. Dithranol may be used as a matrix for matrix assisted laser desorption/ionization imaging on a Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance mass spectrometer.

Psoriasis is a common, chronic and relapsing inflammatory skin disease. It affects approximately 2% of the western population and has no cure. Combination therapy for psoriasis often proves more efficacious and better tolerated than monotherapy with a single drug. Combination

A new sensitizer motif for dye sensitized solar cells (DSSC) has been developed. A heteroaromatic moiety containing a pyrazine ring links two porphyrin chromophores to the metal oxide surface via two carboxylic acid attachment groups. A test DSSC sensitized with
