“…Coumarins are a group of natural compounds which are extremely variable in structure (Beillerot et al, 2008), leading to compounds displaying multiple biological properties as in vitro antiproliferative and in vivo antitumor activities (Kostova, 2005); antioxidant activity (Beillerot et al, 2008;Farombi and Nwaokeafor, 2005;Fylaktakidou et al, 2004;Girennavar et al, 2007;Kontogiorgis et al, 2004;Torres et al, 2006;Wua et al, 2007;von Kruedener et al, 1996); inhibitory activity against cytochrome P450 enzyme (Girennavar et al, 2007); neuroprotective, anticancer and antimutagenic activities (Borges et al, 2005;Stanczyk et al, 2005); anti-inflammatory activity (Borges et al, 2005;Khan and Sharma, 1993;Kontogiorgis et al, 2004;Stanczyk et al, 2005); vasorelaxant (Hoult and Paya, 1996) and anticoagulant activities (Khan and Sharma, 1993). Some studies reveal that the multiple pharmacological activities of coumarins may be related to their antioxidant properties (Borges et al, 2005;Stanczyk et al, 2005), as oxidative damage to biomolecules causes accelerated aging and many chronic diseases, including neurodegenerative diseases, cancer, cardiovascular …”
