• Beschreibung: Khellin is a natural product isolated from Bishop’s Weed, which is particularly abundant in the Mediterranean regions. Ancient Egyptians used the herb for the treatment of asthma and kidney stones, and since then has been used in a range of medicines. Nowadays Khellin is used in a treatment against arrhythmia and also as a photosensitizer in UVA Vitiligo treatment. Furanochromones like Khellin and Visnagin (FV42573) have also been found to have phytotoxic properties. For this reasons these natural compounds can be used as effective and environmentally benign herbicides.
