Bergapten (5-methoxypsoralen) is a psoralen (also known as furocoumarins) found in bergamot essential oil and many other citrus essential oils, and is the chemical in bergamot oil that causes phototoxicity.Bergapten, a naturally occurring furocoumarin found in multiple plants, holds significant potential in biochemistry. Recent extensive studies have revealed both beneficial and detrimental biological activities associated with Bergapten. In scientific research, Bergapten finds broad applications. In vivo, it has been employed to examine the impact of ultraviolet radiation. In vitro, researchers have utilized Bergapten to study the effects of different drugs on cells and the impact of ultraviolet radiation on cellular behavior.
