methoxsalen and Liver Diseases

methoxsalen has been researched along with Liver Diseases in 2 studies

Methoxsalen: A naturally occurring furocoumarin compound found in several species of plants, including Psoralea corylifolia. It is a photoactive substance that forms DNA ADDUCTS in the presence of ultraviolet A irradiation.
methoxsalen : A member of the class of psoralens that is 7H-furo[3,2-g]chromen-7-one in which the 9 position is substituted by a methoxy group. It is a constituent of the fruits of Ammi majus. Like other psoralens, trioxsalen causes photosensitization of the skin. It is administered topically or orally in conjunction with UV-A for phototherapy treatment of vitiligo and severe psoriasis.

Liver Diseases: Pathological processes of the LIVER.

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"Post-treatment with methoxsalen must be given early and is only partially effective in mice."1.27The drug methoxsalen, a suicide substrate for cytochrome P-450, decreases the metabolic activation, and prevents the hepatotoxicity, of carbon tetrachloride in mice. ( Amouyal, G; Carrion-Pavlov, Y; Degott, C; Descatoire, V; Geneve, J; Labbe, G; Larrey, D; Letteron, P; Pessayre, D; Tinel, M, 1987)
