DIPHENYLCYCLOPROPENONE Usage And Synthesis

Description

Diphencyprone (DCP) is a contact sensitizing agent. Pretreatment with DCP reduces symptom severity in a mouse model of experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE) induced by myelin basic protein (1-10) (MBP_1-10). It enhances IL-10 production and antigen-specific IgG2a antibody responses and reduces anaphylaxis and asthma induced by ovalbumin in mice when administered during ovalbumin immunization at a concentration of 1% v/v. Topical administration of DCP increases intrafollicular CD4⁺ and CD8⁺ T cells, reduces upper dermal inflammation, and stimulates hair growth in the C3H/HeJ mouse model of alopecia areta. Formulations containing DCP have been used in the treatment of alopecia areta.

Description

Diphencyprone is a potent contact allergen responsible for occupational contact dermatitis in chemists and dermatological staff.

Chemical Properties

Uses

Diphenylcyclopropenone was used in topical immunotherapy.

Definition

ChEBI: A cyclopropenone compound having phenyl substituents at the 2- and 3-positions.

General Description
