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

Coriander ( Coriandrum sativum )

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 .
