We compared the cytotoxic effect of coumarin and its derivatives, 7-hydroxycoumarin (7-OHC), 4-hydroxycoumarin (4-OHC), o-hydroxyphenyl acetic acid (OHPAA) and o-coumaric acid (CA), on cultured hepatocytes from human, rat, mouse and rabbit liver. At 10(-5) and 5 x 10(-5) M, coumarin

Coumarin, a well recognized rat hepatotoxicant, also causes acute, selective necrosis of terminal bronchiolar Clara cells in the mouse lung. Further, chronic oral gavage administration of coumarin at 200 mg/kg, a dose that causes Clara cell death, resulted in a

Prolactin has many known functions and one of them is to induce the expression of milk protein gene expression in the mammary gland. Specific membrane receptors have been recently characterized but the transduction mechanism involved in the transfer of the

Hepatotoxicity of coumarin is attributed to metabolic activation to an epoxide intermediate, coumarin 3,4-epoxide (CE). However, whereas rats are most susceptible to coumarin-induced hepatotoxicity, formation of CE is greatest in mouse liver microsomes, a species showing little evidence of hepatotoxicity.

We investigated to develop an effective procedure to produce the potentially high-added-value phenolic compounds through bioconversion of tyrosol isomers. A soil bacterium, designated Serratia marcescens strain, was isolated on the basis of its ability to grow on p-tyrosol (4-hydroxyphenylethanol) as
