Imperatorin (1) was metabolized by Aspergillus flavus, in growth media, to give five metabolites. On the basis of their physical data, the structures of the five metabolites were elucidated as xanthotoxol (2), E-trichoclin (3), Z-trichoclin (4), E-imperatorin acid (5), and Z-imperatorin acid (6);
The effects of imperatorin and its synthetic derivative, Y355, on anti-Fas antibody-induced mice hepatitis were studied. Pretreatment of mice by intraperitoneal administration of imperatorine or Y355 at 30 mg/kg inhibited more than 80% of the anti-Fas antibody (150 microg/kg, i.v.)-induced elevation
The effects of coumarin derivatives, osthole, imperatorin, Pd-Ia, Pd-II and Pd-III, on mice concanavalin A (Con A) (0.2 mg/mouse, i.v.)-induced hepatitis were studied. At the dose of 200 mg/kg (i.p.), these coumarins inhibited more than 90% of the Con A-induced elevation of plasma alanine
