- Abstract
This editorial provides an overview of coumarins, which are natural compounds found in plants and fungi. It discusses their various uses in industries such as food, cosmetics, and pharmaceuticals due to their pleasant smell. The document focuses on the biological and pharmacological activities, toxicity, sources, and classification of coumarins, as well as their synthetic forms. It also includes research papers and reviews on the topic. The editorial highlights the potential use of coumarins as natural pesticides and their importance in promoting health and alleviating diseases. It emphasizes the need for more toxicity studies to ensure the safety of these compounds. The document specifically highlights the biological activities of daphnetin and scopoletin, two derivatives of coumarins, and recommends further research to confirm their documented effects and safety.
