Methoxsalen (Oxsoralen) a naturally occurring furocoumarin compound found in several species of plants, including Psoralea corylifolia, is a compound used to treat psoriasis, eczema, vitiligo and some cutaneous Lymphomas in conjunction with exposing the skin to sunlight. It is a photoactive substance that forms DNA adducts in the presence of ultraviolet an irradiation. After activation it binds preferentially to the guanine and cytosine moieties of DNA, leading to cross-linking of DNA, thus inhibiting DNA synthesis and function.

| Myoglobin (from equine skeletal muscle)
Myoglobin is a small molecular pigment protein formed by binding globin to Heme, which can be reversibly bound to oxygen to form MbO2, MbO2 is called oxymyoglobin, and Mb is called deoxymyoglobin. Myoglobin has the role of transporting and storing oxygen in muscle cells. |
| Hemoglobin (from bovine blood)
Hemoglobin is a iron-containing protein in red blood cells with oxygen binding properties. Hemoglobin is an inducer of HO-1. Hemoglobin consits of heme, which binds to oxygen. Hemoglobin also transports other gases, such as carbon dioxide, nitric oxide, hydrogen sulfide and sulfide. |
| Diethylenetriaminepentaacetic dianhydride
Diethylenetriaminepentaacetic dianhydride (DTPA anhydride) is a bifunctional chelator whose anhydride can react with amino groups in proteins (such as lysine residues) to form stable amide bonds. Diethylenetriaminepentaacetic dianhydride (DTPA anhydride) can also bind to radionuclides to synthesize radionuclide-labeled drug conjugates (RDCs). |
