    Ensulizole, also known as 2-phenylbenzimidazole-5-sulfonic acid, is a water-soluble sunscreen agent that absorbs strongly at UV-B wavelengths. It is commonly found in cosmetic products and sunscreen formulas in combination with other UV filter compounds due to its minimal protection against UV-A wavelengths. Due to its water solubility, ensulizole is commonly used in products formulated to feel light and less oily. It was demonstrated by studies that ensulizole treatment provided protection against cyclobutane pyrimidine dimers and photosensitized the formation of oxidized guanine bases after UV-A or UV-B exposure. According to the FDA, the maximal approved concentration of ensulizole is 148 mM although concentrations ranging between 74 and 148mM can be found in commercial sunscreen products.

    5 Pharmacology and Biochemistry
    5.1 Pharmacology

    Ensulizole is a selective UV-B filter with little activity against UV-A wavelengths. _In vitro_, ensulizole oxidizes guanine bases upon photoexcitation by UV-B and may cause photodamage on DNA, proteins and lipids in the cellular context.

    5.2 Mechanism of Action

    Ensulizole strongly absorbs UV-B wavelengths. It offers protection against UV-B-induced cyclobutane pyrimidine dimers. Based on the findings in vitro and in cellulo, ensulizole induces damage on the DNA, causes DNA strand breaks and photosensitizes the formation of oxidized guanines via type I and II photosensitization mechanisms following UV-A or UV-B irradiation. Ensulizole is capable of generating reactive oxygen species, including singlet oxygen upon photoexcitation.
