khellin and Vitiligo

khellin has been researched along with Vitiligo in 33 studies

Khellin: A vasodilator that also has bronchodilatory action. It has been employed in the treatment of angina pectoris, in the treatment of asthma, and in conjunction with ultraviolet light A, has been tried in the treatment of vitiligo. (From Martindale, The Extra Pharmacopoeia, 30th ed, p1024)
khellin : A furanochrome in which the basic tricyclic skeleton is substituted at positions 4 and 9 with methoxy groups and at position 7 with a methyl group. A major constituent of the plant Ammi visnaga it is a herbal folk medicine used for various illnesses, its main effect being as a vasodilator.

Vitiligo: A disorder consisting of areas of macular depigmentation, commonly on extensor aspects of extremities, on the face or neck, and in skin folds. Age of onset is often in young adulthood and the condition tends to progress gradually with lesions enlarging and extending until a quiescent state is reached.

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"In order to evaluate the efficacy of topical khellin the vitiligo macules of one side only were painted in 41 patients with a 2% solution of khellin in acetone and propylene glycol (90 and 10%, respectively) and exposed to sunlight for a period of 4 months with 3 weekly applications and with exposure times up to 90 min."9.07Photochemotherapy with topical khellin and sunlight in vitiligo.
