Gelseminic acid

CAS No.: 92-61-5

  • Molecular Formula: C₁₀H₈O₄
  • Molecular Weight: 192.17 g/mol

Chemical type

  • Coumarin-type phenolic (coumarins/coumestans)
[1]
  • Coumarin
[2]

Key properties

  • Synthesized from feruloyl-CoA / phenylpropanoid pathway
  • Exhibits antimicrobial activity
  • Induced by pathogen and abiotic stresses
  • Regulated via SA/JA signaling and F6′H transcriptional control
[1]
  • Antioxidant; phytoalexin; inhibitory effects on fungi (e.g., Phakopsora pachyrhizi, Fusarium solani, Fusarium oxysporum) and viruses (e.g., tobacco mosaic virus); accumulates in response to biotic stresses like pathogen attacks; produced via hydrolysis of scopolin by β-glucosidases.
[2]
  • Accumulates in roots for defense and microbiome interactions in Arabidopsis and legumes
  • Antioxidant and antimicrobial roles
[1]
  • Plant defense against pests, diseases, and environmental stresses; anti-inflammatory and analgesic effects in traditional Chinese medicine (e.g., in Angelica dahurica formulations like Du Liang soft capsule); potential role in immunomodulation and toxicity to herbivores.
[2]

Classification by use

  • Phytoalexins used in microbial resistance and stress tolerance
  • Phenolic compounds for root defense
[1]
  • Chemicals involved in plant defense mechanisms
