Xanthoxyletin is a coumarin, which is a type of natural organic compound commonly found in plants, particularly in the Rutaceae family. It is sourced from various plant species, including Zanthoxylum, known for their ethnobotanical uses. Xanthoxyletin functions primarily through its biochemical activity, including the inhibition of certain enzymes and modulation of cellular pathways that influence its pharmacological effects. This compound exhibits a wide range of biological properties, including antibacterial, antifungal, anti-inflammatory, and antiproliferative activities. Due to these properties, xanthoxyletin is of great interest in the field of medicinal chemistry and pharmacology. It is studied for its potential therapeutic applications, particularly in the development of new treatments for infectious diseases and inflammatory conditions. Research also explores its role in cancer research, where it may contribute to the development of novel chemotherapeutic agents. Scientists are continually exploring its bioactivity and possible synergistic effects with other compounds to enhance its efficacy and broaden its application scope.

Xanthoxyletin shows potent antibacterial, fungicidal, and algicidal properties, it also has anticancer, and anti-inflammatory activities.
