New Formulations of Acyclothymidine Dinucleosides Reduce Damaging Effects of Ultraviolet Radiation in an Ex Vivo Skin Model

The greatest risk factor for skin cancer is exposure to ultraviolet (UV) rays of the sun. Among the three types of solar radiation (UVA, UVB, UVC), UVB rays are most commonly associated with skin cancer. UVB exposure promotes the formation of cyclobutane pyrimidine dimers (CPDs) in the DNA of cells in the epidermal skin layers, which can lead to mutations as DNA repair machinery attempts to repair the damage.

To achieve a pharmacological effect, the drug must be able to penetrate through the stratum corneum (SC) into the viable epidermis and dermis. The skin barrier is composed of terminally differentiated keratinocyte cells (corneocytes) and lipid lamellae, which prevent the movement of water out of the skin.
