objective: methoxsalen is a natural photoactive compound which is found in many seed plants. a number of epidermal proliferative disorders can be treated by methoxsalen along with long wave ultraviolet a (uva). materials and methods: in an experimental study, we aimed to demonstrate the effect of methoxsalen, uva and their combination on oogenesis balb/c mice. there were two experimental groups...

The dermatologic potentialities of methoxsalen in populations living in the tropics are especially intriguing for several reasons. The nationals of tropical countries tend to be more or less darkly pigmented; in them such physically innocuous processes as vitiligo may have serious social and economic impact. White-skinned residents may be subject to greater actinic dermal injury than would be t...

background: different investigation showed that 5-methoxypsoralen and 8- methoxypsoralen reduce birth rates in the rats. objective: in this study we worked out the effect of methoxsalen together with ultraviolent a (uva) radiation on mature balb/c mice spermatogenesis. materials and methods: the ld50 standard was determined 160 mg/kg and the uva dose which causes erythema was calculated 0.046 j...
