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. It induces frameshift mutagenesis in bacteria. It also causes lethal photosensitization and the formation of sister chromatid exchanges in Chinese hamster cells.

Biochem/physiol Actions

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

A new C-8 prenylated 5,7-dimethoxycoumarin named omphamurrayin was isolated from the leaves of Murraya paniculata var. omphalocarpa, and its structure was established as 5,7-dimethoxy-8-(1-oxo-2-senecioyl-3-methyl-3-butenyl)-2H-1-benzopyran-2-one on the basis of the spectroscopic evidence. The taxonomic status of M. paniculata var. omphalocarpa is

In this study, the processes of differentiation and melanogenesis induced by 5,7-dimethoxycoumarin in murine (B16) and human (A375) melanoma cells were investigated. Taking into account the previously demonstrated antiproliferative and differentiation activities of this compound, we examined Ras/Raf/Mek/Erk mitogen-activated protein

The photobinding of 5,7-dimethoxycoumarin to isolated adenovirus-type 2 DNA has been investigated with respect to the influence of the ionic environment, and varying molar ratios of DNA(p): 5,7-dimethoxycoumarin. In particular, the ultraviolet radiation-induced covalent addition of 5,7-dimethoxycoumarin to adenovirus DNA
