한국인진성분과 그 유도체에 관한 생물화학적연구 II Coumarin 유도체의 첨즙분필촉진작용

In the preceding paper, it was reported that two esculetin methyl ethers wre isolated from title plant, and exhibited good cholagogic activity. An experiment was made using the eleven coumarin compounds in order to know the relationship between the cholagogic activity and their chemical structure. The result obtained in this study shows that all compounds used possess cholagogic activity, among which daphnetin and esculin methylether are more potent.
