Kumariinid are a group of plant compounds that belong to the class of flavonoids. They are characterized by the presence of a 3,4-dihydroxy-3,4-dihydrocumarin structure, which is a bicyclic compound derived from a coumarin ring. Kumariinid are found in various plants, including members of the Rutaceae family, such as citrus fruits, and the Apiaceae family, such as carrots and parsley. These compounds are known for their biological activities, including antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and anticancer properties. Kumariinid have been studied for their potential health benefits, with some research suggesting they may help protect against chronic diseases. However, more research is needed to fully understand their effects and potential applications in medicine and nutrition.
