General description

5,7-dimethoxycoumarin is isolated and identified from leaves and fruits of Pelea anisata H. Mann, a plant whose fruit are used in the construction of mohikana leis[1]. It induces frameshift mutagenesis in bacteria. It also causes lethal photosensitization and the formation of sister chromatid exchanges in Chinese hamster cells[2].

Biochem/physiol Actions

5,7-Dimethoxycoumarin induces the processes of differentiation and melanogenesis in murine (B16) and human (A375)[3].

Generally on the gas chromatogram of a volatile essential oil, terpenes, oxygenated compounds and sesquiterpenes appear. With temperature programming, it was shown that some non-volatiles are present with the volatiles. They are simple coumarin (2H-1-benzopyran-2-one) derivatives such as citropten (5,7-dimethoxycoumarin)
