Isopimpinellin

In vitro

Mechanism of Action

Angular furocoumarin with photosensitising and mild cytotoxic activity; contributes to the overall photomedicinal profile
Phototoxic furanocoumarin with antimicrobial and smooth-muscle relaxant properties; responsible for photosensitization risk

Research Notes

Less potent than linear furocoumarins for PUVA therapy. Mild cytotoxic activity documented in vitro. Angular geometry reduces DNA intercalation efficiency compared to linear isomers.

Antimicrobial and smooth-muscle relaxant activity documented in vitro for Apiaceae furanocoumarins. Phototoxicity risk well-characterised for the furanocoumarin class.
