## Abstract Bromination of 4β²βphthalimidomethyltrioxsalen (3) provided the 3βmonobromo derivative (**4**) which on hydrogenolysis with either deuterium or tritium provided the corresponding labelled derivatives **5** and **6**. Removal of the phthalimide moiety from **6** produced the title compoun

## Abstract The syntheses of four novel psoralen derivatives, **6a**β**d**, of the benzofurocoumarin (=benzofuro[1]benzopyranone) type containing an ester group are described. These compounds might be of interest in PUVA (psoralen longβwave ultraviolet radiation) therapy. The overall efficiency of
The fluorescence lifetimes of linear furocoumarin drugs and model compounds are reported in water, ethanol and water/ethanol mixtures. In most cases more than one lifetime is observed and this is discussed in terms of complex and excited-state complex formation between the solvent and furan moiety o
The psoralens are naturally occurring metabolites found in many crop plants; synthetic forms of 5-methoxypsoralen (bergapten) and 8-methoxypsoralen (xanthotoxin) are widely used in skin photochemotherapy. Our previous research documented that dietary bergapten and xanthotoxin reduced birthrates in f
