Synthesis of umbelliferone derivatives in Escherichia coli and their biological activities [PDF]
La umbeliferona, también conocida como 7-hidroxicumarina, es un metabolito fenólico que se encuentra en muchas plantas familiares. Se ha demostrado que sus derivados tienen diversos efectos farmacológicos y quimiopreventivos en la salud humana. Se utilizaron una uridina difosfato glicosiltransferasa YjiC de Bacillus licheniformis DSM 13, una variante ...

We utilized the leaf wastes of floriculture crops, namely Tagetes patula, Chrysanthemum grandiflorum, and Alstroemeria hybrida to determine their insecticidal potential against nymphs and adults of Aphis craccivora. Targeted and nontargeted metabolomics of extracts showed the presence of phenols and flavonoids, which corroborates the insecticidal ...

Umbelliferone and Esculetin: Inhibitors or Substrates for Polyphenol Oxidases?
Recently, an interesting debate arose about the nature (substrate versus inhibitor) of esculetin, a coumarin derivative, for mushroom polyphenol oxidase (PPO). The present study examined the behavior of PPOs preparations from fungal and plant origin towards esculetin as a substrate. Both enzymes were able to oxidize esculetin though at a slow rate.

Excited‐State Antiaromaticity Relief‐Guided Discovery of 7‐Hydroxycoumarins as Photoacid Catalysts
DFT and NICS studies are presented, in order to elucidate the relation of photoacidity with antiaromaticity relief of the excited state of 4‐substituted umbelliferone derivatives, leading to the experimentally optimum selection of photoacid catalysts for the acetalization reaction.

Chamomile (Matricaria chamomilla) extract significantly reduced oocyst shedding and intestinal lesions in immunosuppressed mice infected with Cryptosporidium parvum, while enhancing antioxidant defences (GPx, TAC). These findings suggest chamomile as a promising phytotherapeutic agent for cryptosporidiosis. ABSTRACT Background Cryptosporidiosis, caused
