Documented Uses

• Found in many plants traditionally used as herbal remedies; Highly fluorescent; [HSDB] Present in plants of the Umbelliferae family; Clinically tested in combination with ultraviolet A radiation for the treatment of psoriasis; [IARC]
• Angelicin is used as tranquilliser, sedative, or anticonvulsant. (L579)
• Psoralens are natural furocoumarins well-known for their photosensitizing potential. Porphyrins, including hematoporphyrin derivatives (HPD), are also potent photosensitizers. ... Psoralens ... have an action spectrum in the UV-A range. /Psoralens/
• Drugs used to prevent SEIZURES or reduce their severity.
• Agents that are capable of inserting themselves between the successive bases in DNA, thus kinking, uncoiling or otherwise deforming it and therefore preventing its proper functioning. They are used in the study of DNA.
• A traditional grouping of drugs said to have a soothing or calming effect on mood, thought, or behavior. Included here are the ANTI-ANXIETY AGENTS (minor tranquilizers), ANTIMANIC AGENTS, and the ANTIPSYCHOTIC AGENTS (major tranquilizers). These drugs act by different mechanisms and are used for different therapeutic purposes.
