• Description: Angelicin is a furanocoumarin compound, which is derived from various plant sources, particularly within the Apiaceae family. The source of angelicin is often linked to traditional medicinal plants, where it is extracted and subsequently isolated for scientific investigation. Angelicin's mode of action involves intercalating within DNA strands, thereby affecting transcription and replication processes. This action is understood to be primarily photoactivated, leading to the formation of covalent bonds with DNA upon exposure to ultraviolet light, which can result in cross-linking.
