Nine new 7-geranyloxycoumarin derivatives differently substituted at position 8 were semi-synthesised. Their topical antiinflammatory activity was evaluated using the Croton oil ear test in mice as a model of acute inflammation. Auraptene (7-geranyloxycoumarin), its 8-methoxy (collinin) and 8-acetoxy derivatives (1micromol/cm2) provoked 50% oedema reduction, similarly to 0.25 micromol/cm2 of the reference drug indomethacin, a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug.

Abstract

Nine new 7-geranyloxycoumarin derivatives differently substituted at position 8 were semi-synthesised. Their topical antiinflammatory activity was evaluated using the Croton oil ear test in mice as a model of acute inflammation. Auraptene (7-geranyloxycoumarin), its 8-methoxy (collinin) and 8-acetoxy derivatives (1micromol/cm2) provoked 50% oedema reduction, similarly to 0.25 micromol/cm2 of the reference drug indomethacin, a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug.
