- Generic Name
- Bisoctrizole
- DrugBank Accession Number
- DB11262
- Background
Bisoctrizole, or methylene bis-benzotriazolyl tetramethylbutylphenol, is a broad-spectrum organic UV filter that is marketed as Tinosorb M 1. It is a benzotriazole-based organic compound that absorbs, reflects, and scatters both UV-A and UV-B rays. Bisoctrizole is not approved by the FDA, but is approved in the EU and other parts of the world as a UV-filter in sunscreens, day care products and skin lightening products at a maximum concentration of 10% 2.

Avoid life-threatening adverse drug eventsImprove clinical decision support with information on contraindications & blackbox warnings, population restrictions, harmful risks, & more.Avoid life-threatening adverse drug events & improve clinical decision support.- Pharmacodynamics
Under the conditions of in vitro androgen competitive binding assay, bisoctrizole displayed no intrinsic androgenic, estrogenic, nor uterotrophic activity 2.
- Mechanism of action
Bisoctrizole is an organic UV-A filter that absorbs both UV-A and UV-B rays 2.
- Absorption
A rat and human dermal penetration study in vitro indicates that bisoctrizole displays minimal absorption through the skin, with only about 0.01% and 0.06 % of the applied dose penetration through the human and rat skin membrane, respectively 2. Despite low dermal uptake, potential bioaccumulation after repeated skin applications cannot be excluded 2.

Both oral LD50 and dermal LD50 in rat is > 2000 mg/kg MSDS. In a developmental toxicity study of rats, the maternal and developmental no-observed-effect-level (NOEL) of bisoctrizole was the high dose level of 1000 mg/kg bw/day 2. Animal studies suggest that bisoctrizole mediates no phytotoxic effects 2.
