title: Reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC) determination of lipophilicity of furocoumarins: relationship with DNA interaction.
abstract: The partition coefficient (P) of 82 furocoumarins and analogs (psoralens, angelicins, allopsoralens, 8-azapsoralens, angular furoquinolin-2-ones, sulfur and selenium isosters of psoralen and angelicin) has been determined by reversed-phase HPLC. The chromatographic behavior correlates well with the in vitro affinity of the compounds toward DNA.
