Dihydroxyacetone Naphthoquinone Sunscreen

JAMA: The Journal of the American Medical Association, 1972
To the Editor.— During the past decade, we have successfully used a sunscreen containing dihydroxyacetone/ naphthoquinone (lawsone) for patients with all types of cutaneous photosensitivity. 1 An advantage of this sunscreen is its capacity to induce a broad "ultraviolet shield" (290 to 405 nm) in the uppermost layer of the skin.

Staining of Skin with Dihydroxyacetone

Science, 1960
The reaction of skin with dihydroxyacetone to produce a brown "artificial tan" appears to proceed through combination with free amino groups in skin proteins, and particularly by combination of dihydroxyacetone with the free guanido group in arginine.

Dihydroxyacetone

Archives of Dermatology, 1962
In spite of its markedly decreased importance on the cosmetic scene, dihydroxyacetone (DHA) continues to be of interest to dermatologists. 1-6 Studies are still needed to attempt to develop a better color, to understand its absorption and its effect on local and systemic carbohydrate metabolism and its effect on various enzyme systems.

In vitro glycation of human serum albumin by dihydroxyacetone and dihydroxyacetone phosphate

Biochemical and Biophysical Research Communications, 2012
Amino groups in proteins can non-enzymatically react with reducing sugars to generate a structurally diverse group of compounds referred to as advanced glycation end products (AGEs). The in vivo formation of AGEs contributes to some of the complications of diabetes including atherosclerosis, cataract formation, and renal failure.

Dihydroxyacetone: A Suntan-Simulating Agent

Archives of Dermatology, 1960
A recent cosmetic development indicates the possibility of acquiring a suntan from a bottle without exposure to the sun. Dihydroxyacetone, the active agent in these suntan-simulating proprietaries, has enjoyed wide popularity since its introduction. Dermatologists have been asked how this material acts and whether it is harmful.

Antagonism of cyanide poisoning by dihydroxyacetone

Toxicology Letters, 2002
Dihydroxyacetone (DHA) effectively antagonized the lethal effect of cyanide in mice and rabbits, particularly if administered in combination with thiosulfate. Oral DHA (2 and 4 g/kg) given to mice 10 min before injection (i.p.) of cyanide increased the LD50 values of cyanide from 5.7 mg/kg to 12 and 17.6 mg/kg, respectively.

Dihydroxyacetone: A Review.

Journal of drugs in dermatology : JDD, 2018
The sunless tanning industry has experienced rapid growth due to public education on the dangers of ultraviolet radiation on skin and improvements in products. Dihydroxyacetone (DHA) is a 3-carbon sugar allowed by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) as a color additive in sunless tanning products. Bronzers, a product removed with soap and water, may
