Abstract
Phototoxicity occurs when UV irradiation causes otherwise benign compounds to become irritant, sensitizers, or even genotoxic. This toxicity is particularly a concern after topical application and in dermatological programs where skin irritation can be incompatible with the desired therapeutic outcome. This brief article establishes that the intrinsic property forecast index (iPFI) can be used to evaluate the probability of a compound being phototoxic and gives medicinal chemists a practical tool to handle this liability.
