Coumarins and Related Compounds • Coumarins are derivatives of benzo--pyrone, or lactones of o-hydroxycinnamic acid (o-coumaric acid). • The parent compound is coumarin, umbelliferone is the 7-OH derivative of Coumarin. • The glycoside of umbelliferone is called skimmin. • These compounds are used to protect skin from UV light as they absorb short wave length (280- 366 nm). O Coumarin O RO R= H R= Glc O O Umbelliferone Skimin COOH cis-cinnamic acid OH COOH o-hydroxycinnamic acid O coumarin O Dicoumarol • It is a phytoalexin (phytochemical antibiotics) formed due to fungal effect on Melilotus officinalis (Red Clover), an example of microbial transformation. • It is a dimer of 4-hydroxycoumarin that is now produced synthetically under the trade name of Dicoumarol. • Uses: anticoagulant and rodenticide. OH O OH O O O Furanocoumarins • They are coumarin derivatives with additional furan ring. • Ammi majus contain a group of furanocoumarins, the parent compound is called Psoralene. • They are used for the treatment of psoriases and leucodermia. O O Psoralene O Furanochromones • They are benzo--pyrone derivatives resist alkalis. • Ammi visnaga contain furanochromones, the major is Khellin. • Khellin is a smooth muscle relaxant used as: • • • • Bronchodilator. Antispasmodic. Renal colic. Coronary vasodilator. OCH3 O O O OCH3 Khellin Flavonoidal Glycosides • Flavonoids are C-15 compounds (C6-C3-C6) • Flavonoids, constitute one of the most diverse and widespread group of natural products. • They are one of the most important constituents of the human diet. They are found in fruits, vegetables, nuts, seeds, stems, flowers and common drinks e.g. tea. • Flavonoids bind to a range of cellular receptor sites and show a wide range of biological activities. • They are classified into many groups based on the oxidation level at ring C. • They are benzo--pyrone derivatives, so not open by alkalis. • They are responsible for the colours of flowers and fruits.
