Imperatorin is a furocoumarin and a phytochemical that has been isolated from Urena lobata L. (Malvaceae), Angelica archangelica , [1] Angelica dahurica , [2] Glehnia littoralis , [3] Saposhnikovia divaricata , [4] Cnidium monnieri , [5] Incarvillea younghusbandii , [6] and Zanthoxylum americanum mill . [7] It is biosynthesized from umbelliferone, a coumarin derivative. [8]

Isolation

The procedure for the isolation of imperatorin from Urena lobata involves exhaustively extracting under reflux with benzene the air-dried and pulverised roots followed by separation by column chromatography. [9]

Biochemical activity

Imperatorin was identified from a Bioactive Molecules library in a high throughput screening experiment for inhibitors of the phosphodiesterase PDE4. It displays a significant preference for PDE4B over PDE4A. [10] Imperatorin has been shown to have anti-inflammatory activity in chondrocytes. [11] Imperatorin treatment inhibits the expression of iNOS and suppresses the production of NO in osteoarthritic chondrocytes. [11]
