Trioxsalen (Trioxysalen) is a furanocoumarin and a psoralen derivative, in conjunction with UV-A for phototherapy treatment of vitiligo and hand eczema. After photoactivation it creates interstrand cross-links in DNA, which can cause programmed cell death.

5-Hydroxy-8-methoxypsoralen (5-Hydroxyxanthotoxin) is a potent tricyclic furocoumarin suicide inhibitor of CYP (cytochrome P-450) and a metabolite of Xanthotoxin. It is used in the treatment of psoriasis, eczema, vitiligo, and certain cutaneous lymphomas in combination with phototherapy involving exposure to sunlight.

Physalin B is one of the major active compounds from the Solanaceae family of plants and has a wide range of biological activities for the treatment of inflammatory eczema and herpes, among other diseases.Physalin B ameliorates lipopolysaccharide-induced inflammatory response due to acute lung injury by inhibiting NF-κB and NLRP3 through activation of the PI3K Akt pathway.Physalin B inhibits PDGF-BB-induced VSMC proliferation and migration and phenotypic transformation through activation of the Nrf2 pathway. Physalin B inhibits PDGF-BB-induced VSMC proliferation, migration and phenotypic transformation through activation of the Nrf2 pathway.Physalin B exerts antitumor activity by inhibiting LAP2α-HDAC1-mediated deacetylation of glioma-associated oncogene 1 and hepatic stellate cell activation.

Sporidesmolide I can be located within Sporidesmium bakeri and shows potential for research into diseases such as facial eczema in mammals.
