5-methoxypsoralen and Demyelinating Diseases

5-methoxypsoralen has been researched along with Demyelinating Diseases in 1 studies

5-Methoxypsoralen: A linear furanocoumarin that has phototoxic and anti-inflammatory properties, with effects similar to METHOXSALEN. It is used in PUVA THERAPY for the treatment of PSORIASIS.
5-methoxypsoralen : A 5-methoxyfurocoumarin that is psoralen substituted by a methoxy group at position 5.

Demyelinating Diseases: Diseases characterized by loss or dysfunction of myelin in the central or peripheral nervous system.

" Only 5-methoxypsoralen is a largely selective blocker of predominantly the axolemmal potassium channels, which is the characteristic required by our previously proposed working hypothesis for the mechanism of potassium-channel blockers in demyelinating diseases, in particular multiple sclerosis."7.69Mode of action of psoralens, benzofurans, acridinons, and coumarins on the ionic currents in intact myelinated nerve fibres and its significance in demyelinating diseases.
