Chrysarobin (Cat No.: I024627) is a naturally occurring anthrone compound derived from the araroba tree, traditionally used in dermatology for its antiproliferative and anti-inflammatory properties. It has been employed in the treatment of skin disorders such as psoriasis, eczema, and ringworm. Chrysarobin works by inhibiting keratinocyte proliferation and reducing inflammation. Though effective, its clinical use is limited by potential skin irritation and staining. It remains of interest in dermatological research for developing novel therapies targeting hyperproliferative and inflammatory skin conditions.
