Optical data storage was performed with various thin polymer films containing coumarin-based derivatives and by using femtosecond laser pulses as well as two-photon absorption processes. Exploring the photodimerization attribute of coumarin derivatives and using appropriate irradiation wavelengths, recording/erasing processes could be carried out in the same area. Second harmonic generation mic...

The title compound, C(16)H(12)O(5)S, is a derivative of coumarin. The dihedral angle between the coumarin ring system and the phenyl ring is 65.9 (1)°. In the crystal structure, mol-ecules are linked by weak C-H⋯O hydrogen bonding to form molecular ribbons.

AIMS To determine the conditions of photodynamic inactivation of vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV) added to pooled coumarin plasma and the effects of the photodynamic treatment on the prothrombin times and international normalised ratio (INR) in a Netherlands national external quality assessment scheme. METHODS Pooled coumarin plasma samples were illuminated with visible light in the presence ...

The microbial transformation of coumarin (1) and 6-methyl coumarin (2) using Colletotrichum capsici gave 2-(3'-hydroxypropyl) phenol (3) and 2-(3'-hydroxypropyl)-4-methyl phenol (4). The phytopathogenic fungi effectively reduced the 2H-pyran-2-one moiety of both parent coumarins to respective alcohols.

Our ongoing investigations on the stem bark of Mesua beccariana afforded a novel cyclodione coumarin, beccamarin, together with two known xanthones, mesuarianone, mesuasinone, two anthraquinones, 4-methoxy-1,3,5-trihydroxy-anthraquinone and 2,5-dihydroxy-1,3,4-trimethoxyanthraquinone and one coumarin, mammea A/AB. The structures were elucidated by 1D and 2D NMR and MS techniques.

This study aimed to explore the larvicidal and growth-inhibiting activities, and underlying detoxification mechanism of red palm weevil against phenylpropanoids, an important class of plant secondary metabolites. Toxicity of α-asarone, eugenol, isoeugenol, methyl eugenol, methyl isoeugenol, coumarin, coumarin 6, coniferyl aldehyde, diniconazole, ethyl cinnamate, and rosmarinic acid was evaluate...

Abstract This study reports the oil extraction from cumaru seeds by compressed propane (CPE). Extractions were performed varying temperature (20, 40, 60?°C), pressure (2, 6, 10?MPa), and average particle size 1.7, 1.0, 0.5?mm). The results compared respect to coumarin content, total phenolic antimicrobial antioxidant activities. It was obtained that 98 % of present in can be recovered at 60?°C,...

Coumarin is classified as one of interesting therapeutic starting research points to obtain remarkable compounds with high efficacy. So, during this research, new 2-iminochromene derivatives bearing coumarin moiety were synthesized. At first, cyanoacetohydrazone 3-acetylcoumarin was prepared and used the material. The synthesized through ring closure derivative 4-hydroxysalicylaldehyde, 5-aryld...

Sandwich-cultured primary rat hepatocytes are often used as an in vitro model in toxicology and pharmacology. However, loss of liver-specific functions, in particular, the decline of cytochrome P450 (P450) enzyme activity, limits the value of this model for prediction of in vivo toxicity. In this study, we investigated whether a hepatic in vitro system with improved metabolic competence enhance...
