A prenylated 4-hydroxycoumarin
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].
