Furanocoumarin

A substance that comes from certain plants and is found in citrus fruits, such as grapefruits, Seville oranges, pomelos, and limes. Although citrus fruits have health benefits, furanocoumarins can affect how certain enzymes in the liver and small intestine break down drugs. This may change the way certain drugs, such as anticancer drugs, work in the body.
