Methoxsalen (8-Methoxypsoralen) is a naturally occurring chemical substance extracted from the seeds of the plant Ammi majus with photoactivating properties. It is an agent used to treat psoriasis, eczema, vitiligo and some cutaneous
Lymphomas in conjunction with exposing the skin to sunlight. As a member of the family of compounds known as psorally bioavailableens or furocoumarins, methoxsalen's exact mechanism of action is unknown; upon photoactivation, methoxsalen has been observed to bind covalently to and crosslink DNA.
