title: Spasmolytic activity of aurapten analogs.
abstract: Seven coumaric compounds analogous to aurapten were synthesized. Their spasmolytic activity against Ba2+, acetylcholine and histamine was evaluated to investigate their structure-activity relationship. The results of the bioassay demonstrated the important roles of the cis type of double bond at C-2' and the epoxide between c-6' and 7'.
