Pimpinellin is a coumarin-like compound extracted from the root of . Its effects on platelet function has not been investigated. This study found that pimpinellin pretreatment effectively inhibited collagen-induced platelet aggregation, but did not alter ADP- and thrombin-induced aggregation. Platelets pretreated with pimpinellin showed reduced α granule (CD62) level and secretion of dense granule (ATP release). Pimpinellin-treated platelets also exhibited decreased clot reaction and TxB2 production. Pimpinellin pretreatment suppressed adhesion and spreading of human platelets on the fibrinogen coated surface. Analysis of tail bleeding time of mice administered with pimpinellin (40 mg/kg) revealed that pimpinellin did not change tail bleeding time significantly, number of blood cells, and APTT and PT levels. Pimpinellin inhibited collagen-induced aggregation of mice platelets. Immunoblotting results showed that pimpinellin suppressed collagen-induced phosphorylation of PI3K-Akt-Gsk3β and PKC/MAPK in platelets.

Background: Pimpinellin is a phenylpropanoid compound involved in various physiological and pathological processes in the body. The specific impact of pimpinellin on ulcerative colitis (UC) remains uncertain. Research on pimpinellin by using a dextran sulfate sodium (DSS)-induced UC model can lay the groundwork for future drug screening and various treatment approaches for UC.

Macrophage inflammation plays a central role during the development and progression of sepsis, while the regulation of macrophages by parthanatos has been recently identified as a novel strategy for anti-inflammatory therapies. This study was designed to investigate the therapeutic potential and mechanism of pimpinellin against LPS-induced sepsis. PARP1 and PAR activation were detected by western blot or immunohistochemistry.

Plant secondary metabolites, including furanocoumarins, have attracted attention for decades as active molecules with therapeutic potential, especially those occurring in a limited number of species as evolutionarily specific and chemotaxonomically important. The most famous methoxyfuranocoumarins (MFCs), bergapten, xanthotoxin, isopimpinellin, phellopterin, byakangelicol, byakangelicin, isobergapten, pimpinellin, sphondin, as well as rare ones such as peucedanin and 8-methoxypeucedanin, apaensin, cnidilin, moellendorffiline and dahuribiethrins, have recently been investigated for their various biological activities. The α-glucosidase inhibitory activity and antioxidant potential of moellendorffiline, the antiproliferative and proapoptotic properties of non-UV-activated bergapten and xanthotoxin, the effect of MFC on the activity of tyrosinase, acetyl- and butylcholinesterase, and the role of these compounds as adjuvants in anticancer and antibacterial tests have been confirmed.
