Coriandrin is a component of the essential oils of coriander . Coriandrin was first isolated from this herb as a highly photoactive compound in 1988 and was therefore named that way. The compound is structurally derived from coumarin and belongs to the group of furanoisocoumarins.
Occurrence
The substance was found in the fruits and leaves of coriander, along with other furanocoumarins. The latter contained up to 45 µg / g leaves. There is scientifically sound evidence that naturally occurring coumarins can influence the cytochrome P450 -dependent metabolism .
