The Grapefruit Effect: Interaction between Cytochrome P450 and Coumarin Food Components, Bergamottin, Fraxidin and Osthole. X-ray Crystal Structure and DFT Studies
Coumarins are plant-derived secondary metabolites. The crystal structure of three coumarins—bergamottin, osthole and fraxidin—are described and we analyze intermolecular interactions and their role in crystal formation. Bergamottin is a furanocoumarin found in citrus plants, which is a strong inhibi...
