Furanocoumarin - (pronounced) (fyoor-A-noh-KOO-muh-rin) A substance derived from certain plants and found in citrus fruits such as grapefruit, Seville oranges, grapefruit, and lime. Although citrus fruits have health benefits, furanocoumarins can affect how certain enzymes in the liver and small intestine break down drugs. This can change the way certain medications, such as B. anti-cancer drugs, act in the body
