Scopoletin is a coumarin found in the roots of the genus Scopolia , e.g. B. Scopolia carniolica and Scopolia japonica , but also in chicory , in Artemisia scoparia , in the roots and leaves of the nettle ( Urtica dioica ), in the passion flower , in Brunfelsia , in Viburnum prunifolium , in Solanum nigrum , in Mallotus resinosus , and in Kleinhovia hospita .
Scopoletin is also found in vinegar , some whiskeys, and dandelion coffee.
Scopoletin is used in biochemistry for protein staining . Scoparon is a coumarin related to scopoletin. Scopolin is the glucoside of scopoletin and is produced by the scopoletin glucosyltransferase .
