“…The TCM medicines known to be effective in vitiligo are listed in Table 1. According to Bark et al (2010), a quarter of 64 TCM plants have been shown to have phototoxic properties. They show strong fluorescence in phototoxicity tests and are positive in photohemolysis and Candida albicans tests.…”

“…(Arlt et al, 2002;Cosyns et al, 1994;Vanherweghem et al, 1993). Both the hepatotoxicity of Psoralea corylifolia (Teschke & Bahre, 2009, Cheung et al, 2009, and its phototoxicity (Bark et al, 2010) are mentioned due to its possible applications in vitiligo. Ayurvedic medicine as well as TCM acknowledge the risks of the use of arsenic and mercury (Saper et al, 2004).…”

-Purpose. Herbal medicines have been increasingly used worldwide. However, the potential harms of these herbs have been noticed most recently following hepatotoxicity with ingestion of herbal remedies. The aim of this review is to evaluate the evidence of hepatotoxic effects linked to use of herbal preparations. Method. Electronic search was performed by searching several databases: PubMed, HerbMed, Google Scholar, Scopus, Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews and Cochrane Library using both Latin and common names of several herbs. Language was restricted to English and articles were selected for relevance reporting incidence of hepatotoxicity associated with use of herbal products in human. Results. From a total of 565 relevant reviews and articles, 254 met our inclusion criteria and were analyzed.

“…[37,38] So, enucleate mammalian erythrocytes can be convenient in vitro model for potential PS activity estimation and revealing of the influence of their structure on the biomembrane photodestruction ability. [39][40][41][42][43][44][45] According to the literature data the principle factor of membrane photodestruction is an ability of pophyrin to interact with membrane, but spectral properties and the singlet oxygen generation ability are of a much less role in this process. [46] So the erythrocytes photodestruction can be used to investigate features of potential PS to interact with cell membranes.…”
