Citropten

Citropten (5, 7-dimethoxycoumarin) is one of the coumarin derivatives. Citropten is an effective oral anticancer agent. Citropten has anti-proliferative activity against A2058 and B16 melanoma cells. Citropten exerts anti-inflammatory effects through the NFκB and MAPK signaling pathways. Citropten acts as an antidepressant through heat shock protein-70, monoamine oxidase-A and inhibition of apoptosis[1] [2] [3].
