, p. 1229 - 1232 (1989)
A new monoterpenoidfuranocoumarin lactone (fernolin) along with aurapten, marmesin, bergapten and xanthotoxin has been isolated from the roots of Feronia limonia.The structure of each of these compounds has been established on the basis of chemical reactions and spectral studies.Key Word Index - Feronia limonia; Rutaceae; roots; coumarins.

A series of psoralens and structurally related 5,7-disubstituted coumarins was synthesized and investigated for their K+ channel blocking activity as well as for their phototoxicity to Artemia salina and their ability to generate singlet oxygen and to photomodify DNA. After screening the compounds on Ranvier nodes of the toad Xenopus laevis, the affinities of the most promising compounds, which proved to be psoralens bearing alkoxy substituents in the 5-position or alkoxymethyl substituents in the neighboring 4- or 4'-position, to a number of homomeric K+ channels were characterized. All compounds exhibited the highest affinity to Kv1.2. 5,8- Diethoxypsoralen (10d) was found to be an equally potent inhibitor of Kv1.2 and Kv1.3, while lacking the phototoxicity normally inherent in psoralens. The reported compounds represent a novel series of nonpeptide blockers of Shaker-type K+ channels that could be further developed into selective inhibitors of Kv1.2 or Kv1.3.
Structure-activity relationships for naturally occurring coumarins as β-secretase inhibitor

The present study was demonstrated to evaluate the effects of naturally occurring coumarins (NOCs) including simple coumarins, furanocoumarins, and pyranocoumarins on the inhibition of β-secretase (BACE1) activity. Of 41 NOCs examined, some furanocoumarins inhibited BACE1 activity, but simple coumarins and pyranocoumarins did not affect. The most potent inhibitor was 5-geranyloxy-8-methoxypsoralen (31), which has an IC50 value of 9.9 μM. Other furanocoumarin derivatives, for example, 8-geranyloxy-5- methoxypsoralen (35), 8-geranyloxypsoralen (24), and bergamottin (18) inhibited BACE1 activity, with the IC50 values 25.0 μM. Analyses of the inhibition mechanism by Dixon plots and Cornish-Bowden plots showed that compounds 18, 31 and 35 were mixed-type inhibitor. The kinetics of inhibition of BACE1 by coumarins 24 was non-competitive inhibitors.

Page/Page column 23-27, (2009/07/17)
The present invention relates to compounds of formula I, which are functionalized phenolic compounds, and polymers formed from the same. Ar—[O—(X)p—R′]q??I Polymers formed from the functionalized phenolics are expected to have controllable degradation profiles, enabling them to release an active component over a desired time range. The polymers are also expected to be useful in a variety of medical applications.
