7,8-Dimethoxycoumarin is a coumarin compound derived from Artemisia caruifolia with oral activity. 7,8-Dimethoxycoumarin inhibits mitochondrial permeability transition pore and H+/K+-ATPase, and exhibits antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, renoprotective, neuroprotective and gastroprotective effects. 7,8-Dimethoxycoumarin reduces lipid peroxidation (TBARS), increases GSH levels, inhibits myeloperoxidase (MPO) activity, and regulates the expression of inflammatory factors by inhibiting the NF-kappaB and MAPK pathways. 7,8-Dimethoxycoumarin ameliorates gastric mucosal injury, alleviates renal tissue lesions and relieves neuropathic pain. 7,8-Dimethoxycoumarin can be used in studies related to acute renal failure, trigeminal neuralgia and gastritis[1][2][3][4].
