Biological Activity

Description 6-Methylcoumarin (Toncarine), a synthetic fragrance widely used in cosmetics, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as coumarins and derivatives.
In vitro Transport experiments with Caco-2 cells show that 6-Methylcoumarin presents high permeability at all concentrations evaluated. This finding suggests that 6-Methylcoumarin could be transported across the gut wall by passive diffusion[1].
In vivo The plasma concentration-time curve shows that the maximum concentration (Cmax) is 17.13 ± 2.90 µg/mL at maximum time (Tmax) of 30 min for the oral route (200 mg/kg) and Cmax 26.18 ± 2.47 µg/mL at 6.0 min for the intraperitoneal administration (200 mg/kg), with elimination constant of (Ke) 0.0070/min and a short life half time of (T1/2) lower that 120 min. 6-Methylcoumarin has high accumulation in the liver, and widespread distribution in all the organs evaluated. The oral bioavailability (F) of 6-Methylcoumarin is 45% in Wistar rats[1].
