Following are certain statements regarding furanocoumarins;

 a) furanocoumarins have an attached furan ring

 b) These compounds are toxic until they are activated by sunlight in the ultraviolet A (UV-A) region (320–400 nm)  

 c) Light activated furanocoumarins can insert themselves into the double helix of DNA and bind to the pyrimidine bases, thus blocking transcription and repair and leading eventually to cell death   

 d) Phototoxic furanocoumarins are especially abundant in members of the Umbelliferae family, including celery, parsnip, and parsley.
