Coumarins: Biology, Applications and Mode of Action

Coumarins are simple molecules that prevent disease, modulate growth and maturation and defense systems, and may have anti--oxidant properties. This book explores coumarins and their wide range of applications in the long--term control of cellular immunity.
Coumarins: Biology, Applications and Mode of Action predominantly focuses on the parent compound, coumarin, and its main metabolite in humans, 7--hydroxycoumarin. It describes in detail every facet of these compounds including history, toxicology, chemistry, metabolism, analysis, clinical, veterinary and other applications, their roles as immunomodulatory agents and speculates on their mode of action.
