Description | Psoralen (Psoralene, Ficusin, Furocoumarin) is a naturally occurring furocoumarin that intercalates with DNA, inhibiting DNA synthesis and cell division. |
---|---|
In vitro | Psoralen inhibits the proliferation of MCF-7/ADR cells as shown by G0/G1 phase arrest rather than encouraging apoptosis. Psoralen reverses MDR(multidrug resistance) through inhibiting ATPase activity rather than reducing P-gp expression. Psoralen inhibits the migration abilities of MCF-7/ADR cells by repressing EMT possibly through inhibiting the activation of NF-κB. Psoralens are photoactive compounds that readily alkylate DNA when activated by longwave ultraviolet light. Proliferation has been significantly promoted in MCF-7/ADR cells treated with low concentration of psoralen (<10.75 µM) and inhibited with high concentration(>21.5 µM). Psoralen can inhibit metastasis of breast cancer. Psoralen mediates a variety of cell processes including cell death, proliferation, inflammation and migration[1]. |
In vivo | Psoralen has been characterized as a tumor suppressor in various tumors[1]. Psoralen ameliorates sex hormone deficiency-induced osteoporosis in female and male mice. It has antiosteoporosis effect in ovariectomy-induced osteoporotic rats via stimulating osteoblastic differentiation from bone mesenchymal stem cells[2]. |
