NAVARRO-GARCIA, Víctor M.; HERRERA-RUIZ, Maribel; ROJAS, Gabriela y ZEPEDA, L. Gerardo. Coumarin Derivatives from Loeselia mexicana: Determination of the Anxiolytic Effect of Daphnoretin on Elevated Plus-maze. J. Mex. Chem. Soc [online]. 2007, vol.51, n.4, pp.193-197. ISSN 1870-249X.
The bis-coumarin daphnoretin (1) and its monomelic precursors scopoletin (3) and umbelliferone (4) were isolated for the first time from L. mexicana, a vegetal species used in Mexican traditional medicine. The unambiguous 13C NMR chemical shifts assignments of daphnoretin (1) and its acetyl derivative 2 were achieved through one-bond (gHMQC) and long-distance (gHMBC) heteronuclear correlations. The crude hydroalcoholic extract and pure daphnoretin 1 obtained from this plant, showed anxiolytic effect in male ICR mice exposed to elevated plus-maze. Different doses of daphnoretin (1) were not able to modify the spontaneous locomotor activity measured in the open field test. This is the first report regarding to the anxio-lytic effect of daphnoretin (1).
