Psoralidin (1) was first isolated from seeds of Psoralea corylifolia Linn. It was found to be an active ingredient of many Indian and Chinese traditional herbal medicines. Psoralidin exhibits a variety of biological activities like antineoplastic, antioxidant, antibacterial, antidepressant activities. Psoralidin inhibits protein tyrosine phosphatase 1B activity. Psoralidin may act as a estrogen receptor agonist. In addition psoralidin showed potent and noncompetitive inhibition against UDP- glucuronosyltransferase (UGT) or cytochrome p450 (CYP450) enzymes.

CNS Activity

Curator's Comment: Psoralidin is CNS active in animals. No human data available.

Route of Administration: Oral
A cytotoxic coumestan derivative, psoralidin was isolated from the seed of Psoralea corylifolia. The IC50 values of 1 against SNU-1 and SNU-16 carcinoma cell lines were 53 and 203 micrograms/ml, respectively, indicating cytotoxic activity against stomach carcinoma cell lines. Psoralidin was found to be a cytotoxic with the IC50 values of 0.3 and 0.4 microg/ml against the HT-29 (colon) and MCF-7 (breast) human cancer cell lines, respectively.
