“…Anthracene, a polycyclic hydrocarbon, is found to the extent of about 1.8% in coal tar and would appear to be one of the major phototoxic components present. Walter and De Quoy ( 20) have proposed the use of anthracene in conjunction with UV-A radiation for the phototherapy of psoriasis. Anthracene, unlike the widely used 8-methoxypsoralen .…”

“…In addition a study has been made into the possibility that the anthracene-W-A (ANUVA) response is enhanced by the presence of UV-B radiation. Walter and De Quoy (20) have reported that depression of DNA synthesis only occurred when anthracene was photoactivated by W -A radiation. Anthracene did not increase the amount of DNA depression over that which had been observed to occur as the result of-the action of UV-B or W -C radiation alone.…”

SynopsisThe present methods of assessing the photoprotective action of sunscreens against W -A radiation have been reviewed. A more rapid and precise method using anthracene and the hairless mouse has been developed. The method is specific for W -A radiation.Une mCthode pour &valuer I'action photoprotectrice des filtres solaires i l'encontre du rayonnement W -A R&sum& I1 est maintenant acquis que le rayonnement UV-A est nocif pour la peau. I1 y a donc un besoin pour des filtres solaires reellement efficaces dans cette portion du spectre.Des mbthodes spkcifiques d'hluation sont necessaires pour mettre en tvidence la capacite des fiitres solaires A fournir cette protection. Les mbthodes qui ont Btk dBcrites jusqu'd present pour bvaluer l'effet photoprotecteur des fiitres solaires A l'encontre du rayonnement UV-A ne sont pas entibrement satisfaisantes.Une mkthode qui surmonte un bon nombre des difficultbs rencontrees jusqu'ici a 6th dbveloppk. Cette mbthode utilise une solution alcoolique d'anthradne et des souris sans poils. Elle permet d'obtenir une appreciation dbfinitive du pouvoir protecteur du filtre solaire A l'kgard du rayonnement UV-A pendant la pbriode d'irradiation, en opposition aux retards d'au moins 24 heures qui sont nbcessaires avec les mBthodes actuelles. Cette mbthode a bte nommbe mkthode ANUVA.
