Furanocoumarin. The furanocoumarins, or furocoumarins, are a class of organic chemical compounds produced by a variety of plants. Most of the plant species found to contain furanocoumarins belong to a handful of plant families. The families Apiaceae and Rutaceae include the largest numbers of plant species that contain furanocoumarins.
Bergamottin (5-geranoxypsoralen) is a natural furanocoumarin found in the pulp of pomelos and grapefruits. [1] It is also found in the peel and pulp of the bergamot orange, from which it was first isolated and from which its name is derived.
Bergapten is a natural compound coming from plants like the common fig, but it can also be synthesized. Most syntheses of linear furanocoumarins involve starting with a central aromatic unit and adding two heterocyclic rings. Alternate routes of synthesis are desirable to avoid regiochemical problems and moderate yields.
C11H6O4. Molar mass. 202.165 g·mol −1. Except where otherwise noted, data are given for materials in their standard state (at 25 °C [77 °F], 100 kPa). Infobox references. Bergaptol is a natural furanocoumarin with the molecular formula C 11 H 6 O 4. It is found in the essential oils of citrus including lemon and bergamot.
Infobox references. Psoralen (also called psoralene) is the parent compound in a family of naturally occurring organic compounds known as the linear furanocoumarins. It is structurally related to coumarin by the addition of a fused furan ring, and may be considered as a derivative of umbelliferone.
Coumarin (/ ˈ k uː m ər ɪ n /) or 2H-chromen-2-one is an aromatic organic chemical compound with formula C 9 H 6 O 2.Its molecule can be described as a benzene molecule with two adjacent hydrogen atoms replaced by an unsaturated lactone ring −(CH)=(CH)−(C=O)−O−, forming a second six-membered heterocycle that shares two carbons with the benzene ring.
Angelicin is the parent compound in a family of naturally occurring organic compounds known as the angular furanocoumarins.Structurally, it can be considered as benzapyra-2-one fused with a furan moiety in the 7,8-position.
The fig is the edible fruit of Ficus carica, a species of small tree in the flowering plant family Moraceae, native to the Mediterranean region, together with western and southern Asia. It has been cultivated since ancient times and is now widely grown throughout the world. [3][4] Ficus carica is the type species of the genus Ficus, containing ...
