Abstract

Candida albcans growth inhibition experiments were carried out to determine the photoxicity of new monofunctional psoralen derivatives, PzPs and HMPzPs, as well as well known 8-MOP an d5-MOP. Although 8-MOP and 5-MOP showed distince photoxicity, PzPs and HMPzPs did not inhibit the growth of Candida albicans strain indicating that PzPs derivatives were not good candidate for the treatment of psoriasis. However, vitili해 could be treated by PzPs derivatives without severe phototosicity because psoralens are known to treat vitiligo by stimulating melanogenesis on skin.
