Abstract
A new coumarin, 7-[(E)-3′,7′-Dimethyl-6′-oxo-2′,7′-octadienyl]oxy coumarin (1), together with three known compounds, schinilenol (2), schinindiol (3) and 7-[(E)-7′-hydroxy-3′,7′-dimethylocta-2′,5′-dienyloxy]-coumarin (4) were isolated from the methylene chloride fraction of Z. schinifolium by normal and reverse phase column chromatographies. Their structures were determined on the basis of physical and spectroscopic evidences. Compound 1 (IC50 8.10 μM) showed potent cytotoxicity compared to auraptene (IC50 55.36 μM) against Jurkat T cells. The other isolated compounds 2 and 4 exhibited weak cytotoxicities.
