The use of coumarin dyes adsorbed on titanium dioxide (TiO2, P25) successfully extended the photocatalytic UV response of TiO2 toward visible light region. The hydrogenation of acetophenone (AP) using TiO2 modified with coumarin dyes proceeded with good chemical efficiencies under visible light irradiation. The role of sacrificial reagents on this dye-sensitized system is also reported.

In the title compound, C(17)H(14)O(5)S, the coumarin ring system is nearly planar, with a maximum deviation of 0.034 (2) Å from the mean plane. The dihedral angle between the benzene ring and the coumarin ring system is 56.11 (6)°. The crystal packing is stabilized by C-H⋯O hydrogen bonding, which forms a three-dimensional framework.

220mg of butylated hydroxytoluene/kg or l00mg of phenobarbitonelkg. Adrenalectomy diminished the initial effect of coumarin on microsomal amino acid incorporation in vitro. However, the coumarin effect on microsomal protein synthesis could not be eliminated by the removal of either the pituitary or thyroid gland. Although the doses of coumarin used in these experiments are toxic and expected to...

We evaluated the responses of three generalist herbivores (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) to the most abundant coumarin in young leaves of spurge-laurel, Daphne laureola L. (Thymelaeaceae), a perennial shrub consistently fed upon by several noctuid species. Pseudenargia ulicis Staud and Noctua janthe Borkhausen are natural herbivores of the species in southeastern Spain, whereas Spodoptera littoralis ...

OBJECTIVE(S) Coumarin hydroxylase (CYP2A6) is a polymorphic enzyme, and during the last decade has received a lot of attention because it is the principle human nicotine C-oxidase, which activates a number of procarcinogens, and metabolizes drugs. MATERIALS AND METHODS 150 healthy Iranian volunteers, (96 male, 54 female) aged 19 to 63 years old, were given 5 mg coumarin orally after an overni...

Coumarin (1,2-benzopyrone) is a natural compound that has been used as a fragrance in the food and perfume industry and could have therapeutic usefulness in the treatment of lymphedema and different types of cancer. Several previous pharmacokinetic studies of coumarin have been performed in humans, which revealed extensive first-pass metabolism of the compound. 7-Hydroxycoumarin (7-HC) and its ...

The present study was aimed at investigating the antioxidant activities of coumarin in streptozotocin (STZ)-nicotinamide (NA) induced type 2 diabetic rats. Diabetes was induced in experimental rats by a single intraperitoneal (i.p.) injection of STZ (45 mg/kg body weight (b.w.)), 15 min after the i.p. administration of NA (110 mg/kg b.w.). Diabetic rats were administered coumarin intragastrical...

BACKGROUND Reaction of azides with triaryl phosphines under mild conditions gives iminophosphoranes which can react with almost any kind of electrophilic reagent, e.g. aldehydes/ketones to form imines or esters to form amides. This so-called Staudinger ligation has been employed in a wide range of applications as a general tool for bioconjugation including specific labeling of nucleic acids. ...

An efficient synthesis of some novel coumarin derivatives via 1, 4- Michael addition of indole to coumarin chalcones catalyzed by cellulose sulphonic acid (CSA) under solvent free conditions is described. The corresponding Michael addition products were obtained in good to excellent yield. The synthesized compounds were screened for their antibacterial activity against E. coli, S. aureus and an...
