Auraptene is a natural bioactive monoterpene coumarin ether. It was first isolated from members of the genus Citrus.
Auraptene has shown a remarkable effect in the prevention of degenerative diseases. Many studies have reported the effect of auraptene as a chemopreventative agent against cancers of liver, skin, tongue, esophagus, and colon in rodent models.[1] The effect in humans is not yet known.
