Ecamsule disodium is a versatile UVA filter compound commonly employed in the formulation of sunscreen products. Its primary role is to mitigate the potential harm posed by solar radiation through the prevention of various biological repercussions induced by UV exposure. These include the inhibition of pyrimidine dimer formation, the reduction of p53 protein accumulation, and the downregulation of collagenase 2 expression.
Odoriflavene has antioxidant activity, and it also shows inhibition effects on the decrease of glutathione level of rat lens induced by UV irradiation. Odoriflavene shows cytotoxic activity against a SH-SY5Y cell line in vitro.
