| Description | Dictamnine belongs to the class of organic compounds known as furanoquinolines. Furanoquinolines are compounds containing a furan ring fused to a quinoline. Dictamnine was also reported to be a phototoxic and photomutagenic compound. Dictamnine is a strong basic compound (based on its pKa). Dictamnine is a potentially toxic compound. The reaction typically begins within 24 hours of exposure and peaks at 48–72 hours after the exposure. Many different topical and oral medications can be used to treat the inflammatory reaction of phytophotodermatitis. The symptoms are equivalent to photodermatitis, but vary in severity. It is the main alkaloid in the roots of Dictamnus albus and responsible for the mutagenicity of the drug derived from crude extracts. Windows will filter out ultraviolet light and prevent symptoms from arising. Sunblock can greatly mitigate symptoms, at least when caused by rue (Ruta Graveolens).
