This paper is designed to examine the binding behavior of Coumarin with bovine -casein (βCN) through fluorescence spectroscopy and molecular modeling techniques. The data analysis on fluorescence titration experiments at various temperatures represents the enthalpy driven nature for the formation of Coumarin–βCN complex and the prevailed role of hydrogen bonds and van der Waals interactions in...

A gas chromatographic (GC) method is described for the determination of coumarin in fragrance products. Coumarin was tentatively identified by retention time and confirmed by GC/mass spectrometry. The amount of coumarin was determined by external standard. The method was validated by conducting recovery studies from fortified fragrance products at several concentrations. Recoveries of coumarin ...

Coumarin, at concentrations between 1.0 and 0.1 mm, inhibited red light-induced opening of the etiolated bean hypocotyl hook. In addition, anthocyanin synthesis and geotropic bending were inhibited. Coumarin stimulated ethylene synthesis, and ethylene was shown to mediate the inhibitory actions of coumarin. This conclusion was supported by: (a) the parallel concentration dependence and time seq...

objective(s): inflammation is an immune response toward injuries. although inflammation is healing response, but in some condition it will lead to chronic disease such as rheumatoid arthritis, inflammatory bowel disease, atherosclerosis, alzheimer’s and various cancer. indonesian cassia (cinnamomum burmanni c. nees & t. ness) known to contain coumarin, is widely used for alternative medicine es...

Cinnamomum zeylanicum Blume, commonly known as Ceylon cinnamon or true has gained worldwide attention than ever due to recent scientific pieces of evidence on its health benefits and medicinal applications. consists a higher concentration beneficial chemical compounds, superior flavor taste while having minimum amount harmful coumarin. Our study focused morphological, yield biochemical characte...

In the present study, the antinociceptive profiles of coumarin were examined in ICR mice. Coumarin administered orally (from 1 to 10 mg/kg) showed an antinociceptive effect in a dose-dependent manner as measured in the acetic acid-induced writhing test. Duration of antinociceptive action of coumarin maintained at least for 60 min. But, the cumulative response time of nociceptive behaviors induc...

Human exposure to coumarin continues despite controversy over its hepatotoxic potential. Greater understanding of human reactions to coumarin may be achieved by studying murine interstrain differences. The metabolic basis of coumarin hepatotoxicity and its modulation by liver enzyme inducers, beta-naphthoflavone (beta NF) and aroclor 1254 (ARO), were investigated in C3H/He and DBA/2 mice. Couma...

prangos ferulacea (l.) lindl. (apiaceae) is a medicinal plant distributed in mediterranean regions, caucasia and southwest of asia. in the present study phytochemical constituents of the extract obtained from the aerial parts of p. ferulacea were investigated using various chromatographic and spectroscopic methods. essential oil of the plant aerial parts was also analyzed using gc-ms. five phen...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE It remains undetermined whether the use of coumarin anticoagulants associates with cerebral microbleeds in the general population. We investigated whether (1) coumarin use relates to higher prevalence and incidence of microbleeds, (2) microbleeds are more frequent in people with higher maximum international normalized ratios (INRs), and (3) among coumarin users, variabili...

Coumarin and its derivatives are well known for their anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidative effects. In this study, we synthesized 32 coumarin derivatives from commercially available 6-hydroxycoumarin (6HC) and 7-hydroxycoumarin (7HC) and examined their effects on lipopolysaccharide/interferon γ (LPS/IFNγ)-stimulated nitric oxide (NO) production in murine macrophage RAW264 cells. Among these der...
