|  |  | Scopoletin Usage And Synthesis | 
 | Chemical Properties | Crystalline Solid |  | Uses | Scopoletin can be used for cosmetics, topical formulations, and foods. |  | Uses | Scopoletin is the aglucone of Scopolin. Used for cosmetics, topical formulations, and foods. Dyes and metabolites. |  | Definition | ChEBI: A hydroxycoumarin that is umbelliferone bearing a methoxy substituent at position 6. |  | Synthesis Reference(s) | The Journal of Organic Chemistry, 27, p. 3083, 1962 DOI: 10.1021/jo01056a023 |  | General Description | Scopoletin is a coumarin compound and pharmacologically active chemical that is found in various plant species. |  | Biochem/physiol Actions | Scopoletin significantly increases activity of lipoprotein lipase in adipocytes by promoting transcription of the LPL gene. It also partially reverses inhibition of LPL by TNF-α. |  | Purification Methods | Crystallise it from water, acetic acid or *C6H6/MeOH. It is dimorphic with a second m at 193-195o. It sublimes at 120-130o/12mm. [Beilstein 18 H 99, 18 I 348, 18 II 68, 18 III/IV 1323, 18/3 V 203.] |
