title: The metabolism of 8-methoxypsoralen in man.
abstract: 8-Methoxypsoralen is metabolized rapidly and completely in man. Most of the metabolites presently known have their origin in a metabolic attack on the furan moiety yielding an aryl-diol and aryl-acetic-acid and are excreted as conjugates.
