Coumarin Derivatives from Loeselia mexicana. Determination of the Anxiolytic Effect of Daphnoretin on Elevated Plus-maze

The bis-coumarin daphnoretin (1) and its monomeric precursorsscopoletin (3) and umbelliferone (4) were isolated for the firsttime from L. mexicana, a vegetal species used in Mexican traditionalmedicine.

Sumario:The bis-coumarin daphnoretin (1) and its monomeric precursorsscopoletin (3) and umbelliferone (4) were isolated for the firsttime from L. mexicana, a vegetal species used in Mexican traditionalmedicine. The unambiguous 13C NMR chemical shifts assignmentsof daphnoretin (1) and its acetyl derivative 2 were achieved throughone-bond (gHMQC) and long-distance (gHMBC) heteronuclear correlations.The crude hydroalcoholic extract and pure daphnoretin 1obtained from this plant, showed anxiolytic effect in male ICR miceexposed to elevated plus-maze. Different doses of daphnoretin (1)were not able to modify the spontaneous locomotor activity measuredin the open field test. This is the first report regarding to the anxiolyticeffect of daphnoretin (1).
