Abstract
A new cyclic acetal (1) of marmin (6′, 7′-dihydroxy-7-geranyloxycoumarin), two new cyclic acetals (5, 6) of 6′, 7′-dihydroxybergamottin, and the known compounds marmin (2), 7- geranyloxycoumarin (3), bergamottin (4), and 6′, 7′-dihydroxybergamottin (7) were isolated from grapefruit peel oil. All compounds were tested for inhibitory activity against intestinal cytochrome P450 3A4, an enzyme involved in the “grapefruit/drug” interactions ...
