High impact information on Psoralea

 

Anatomical context of Psoralea

  • Bakuchiol from Psoralea corylifolia inhibits the expression of inducible nitric oxide synthase gene via the inactivation of nuclear transcription factor-kappaB in RAW 264.7 macrophages [6].
  • Psoralen and isopsoralen, furocoumarins isolated from the plant Psoralea corylifolia L., were demonstrated to exhibit in vitro inhibitory actions on monoamine oxidase (MAO) activities in rat brain mitochondria, preferentially inhibiting MAO-A activity over MAO-B activity [7].
 

Associations of Psoralea with chemical compounds

  • The effect of angelicin also was examined in combination with psoralen, both of which are present in Psoralea plants [8].
  • Psoralenoside and Isopsoralenoside, Two New Benzofuran Glycosides from Psoralea corylifolia [9].
  • The MeOH extract of the seeds of Psoralea corylifolia L. was found to inhibit the aggregation of rabbit platelets induced by arachidonic acid, collagen, and platelet activating factor [10].
  • The accumulation of pterocarpans at the expense of biogenetically more primitive shikimate metabolites like furanocoumarins or isoflavonoids supports the inclusion of this plant, once part of the genus Psoralea, into the distinct genus Bituminaria [11].
  • These coumarins included psoralen from Psoralea corylifolia and imperatorin and osthol from Selinum monniere [12].
