Psoralen

A natural furanocoumarin, parent of a family of compounds found in the seeds of Psoralea corylifolia, in figs, celery and citrus fruits: activated by UVA light, it is the basis of PUVA therapy for psoriasis and vitiligo. This family brings together the active ingredient.

Did you know?As early as around 2000 BC in Egypt, the juice of Ammi majus, a plant rich in psoralens, was rubbed on vitiligo patches before sunbathing: an ancestor of modern PUVA.
