furocoumarins การใช้

The brown colour is caused by the production of melanin by furocoumarins.
Many furocoumarins are extremely toxic to fish, and some are deposited in streams in Indonesia to catch fish.
"Angelica " species grow to tall, with large bipinnate furocoumarins in its tissues which make the skin sensitive to light.
The plant is found to contain the furocoumarin isopimpenellin and five biogenetically related furocoumarins viz khellin, visnagin, visamminol, ammiol and khellol.
They feed on the flowers and developing seeds, defending their territory by enclosing an umbel in silk, while safely metabolizing the ingested furocoumarins.
