Psoralen (Ficusin) is a coumarin isolated from the seeds of Fructus Psoraleae. Psoralen exhibits a wide range of biological properties, including anti-cancer, antioxidant, antidepressant, anticancer, antibacterial, and antiviral, et al[1].
体外研究 (In Vitro)
Psoralen (10-500 μM; 24-48 hours) inhibits cell viability in a concentration- and time-dependent manner in L02 and HepG2 cells. In L02 cells, Psoralen at 400 μM does not significantly change extracellular LDH levels, and 400 μM or 450 μM psoralen inhibits 50–60% of cell viability[1].Psoralen (150-450 μM; 24 hours) induces significant S-phase arrest in L02 cells in time- and dose-dependent manners, but it does not exhibits significant change in the cycle distribution of HepG2 cells[1].
MCE has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.
Inhibited the viability of L02 and HepG2 cells mainly by suppressing cell proliferation rather than causing cell death.
Cell Cycle Analysis[1]
Cell Line:
L02 and HepG2 cells
Concentration:
150 μM; 300 μM; 450 μM
Incubation Time:
24 or 48 hours
Result:
Induced cell S-phase arrest instead of causing cell apoptosis or death.
体内研究 (In Vivo)
Psoralen (oral gavage; 17.5 mg/kg; 6 weeks) reduces the number of metastatic lesions and the rate of bone metastasis by 20% compared to vehicle-treated mice. It also reduces tumor infiltration and decreases the percentage of tumor cells in metastatic lesions by ~40% compared to vehicle in mice[2].
