FERULENOL Usage And Synthesis

Uses

Ferulenol is antibiotic useful against mycobacteria similar to taxol.

Biological Activity

ferulenol is a prenylated 4-hydroxycoumarin derivative from ferula communis var. genuine with haemorrhagic action [1]. it has been demonstrated that ferulenol exihibits potent antimycobacterial activity [2].

in vitro

ferulenol stimulated tubulin polymerization in the absence of gtp, with a less extensive polymerization profile at 100 pm concentration. ferulenol decreased radiolabeled colchicine bound by tubulin in a dose-dependent manner. ferulenol altered the normal nuclear morphology of mcf-7 cells. treatment with ferulenol (100 nm and 1 μm) for 24h induced a dose-dependent reduction of cell viability [3]

in vivo

in albino mice, the acute ld50s of ferulenol by single po or ip were 2,100 and 319 mg/kg bw, respectively. three days after ferulenol administration, dosed animals showed hypoprothrombinemia with internal and external hemorrhages. male mice were more sensitive to intoxication than females [4].
