Progress in Chemical Structure Modification of Osthole
Osthole,chemical name is 7-methoxy-8-isopentenyl coumarin,also known as methoxy-parsley phenol,is the main active ingredient in the mature fruit of osthole,belongs to coumarin compounds,it has abundant biological activity.Studies have been done on the structure modification including lactone ring,methoxy group at C-7 and isopentenyl group at C-8 of osthole.In order to provide reference for further study and development of the structure modification of osthole.The progress in structure modification of osthole was reviewed.
