5-Methoxypsoralen, a naturally occurring linear furocoumarin, has been successfully used in combination with ultraviolet (UV) A irradiation [psoralen plus UV (PUVA)] to manage psoriasis and vitiligo. In patients and volunteers, PUVA 5-methoxypsoralen causes a dose-related increase in cutaneous photosensitivity. However

Induction of terminal erythroid differentiation can be an efficient strategy to inhibit proliferation of chronic myelogenous leukemia cells. Psoralens, well-known photo-chemotherapeutic agents, were found to be efficient at inducing erythroid differentiation of K562 cells, an in vitro cell line isolated

Upon UV photoactivation, psoralen analogs form covalent mono-adducts and cross-links with DNA at thymine residues. Electrospray ionization mass spectrometric analysis allowed rapid and efficient determination of the reaction percentages of each psoralen analog with DNA duplexes containing different binding sites
