7-Methoxycoumarin is a coumarin that has been found in S. oblongifolia and has diverse biological activities.1,2,3 It reduces the release of prostaglandin E2 and leukotriene C4 induced by A23187 in isolated mouse peritoneal macrophages.1 7-Methyoxycoumarin is active against S. aureus, S. epidermidis, B. subtilis, S. lutea, and V. cholera (MICs = 0.5, 0.75, 0.75, 0.75, and 0.5 mg/ml, respectively).2 In vivo, 7-methoxycoumarin (3.5 and 7 mg/kg) reduces formalin-induced paw licking and biting responses in mice.3
