Phellopterin

Phellopterin is a furanocoumarin that has been found in A. dahurica and has diverse biological activities. It is an antagonist of GABAA receptors (IC50 = 360 nM for the rat receptor). Phellopterin (20 µM) decreases LPS-induced secretion of prostaglandin E2 (PGE2, Cay-14010) from primary rat peritoneal macrophages. Topical application of phellopterin (1.2 µg/g) accelerates wound healing in a mouse model of diabetes induced by streptozotocin (Cay-13104). It increases the levels of mRNA encoding sirtuin 1 (Sirt1) and decreases mRNA encoding intracellular adhesion molecule-1 (Icam-1) in epithelium isolated from mice in the same model.Formal Name: 7-butyl-5-hydroxy-2-methyl-2-(4-methyl-3-penten-1-yl)-2H-1-benzopyran-6-carboxylic acid.
