| Abstract | In the present study, 17 coumarins were evaluated for cholesterol-lowering activity in rats fed a high-fat diet. Two statins, atorvastatin and simvastatin, were used as positive controls. Each group consisted of eight rats; weight gain, food intake, and feed efficiency ratio within 4 weeks were determined. Four biochemical parameters (total cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein, high-density lipoprotein, and total glycerides) were determined in each tested group. Atherogenic index, cardiac risk factor, and liver indexes were also calculated to explain structure-activity relationships of coumarins. With the results of weight gain and food intake, the feed efficiency ratio (FER) was calculated for the 17 coumarins. The positive control groups did not recover FER values to the level of the normal group. The high-fat diet increased concentrations of total cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein, and total glycerides in the control rats as compared to the normal rats, whereas highdensity lipoprotein decreased in the control rats. The two statins and all coumarins lowered cholesterol and increased high-density lipoprotein level to those of the normal rats. 7-Methoxycoumarin was the highest cholesterol-lowering coumarin and showed potent recovery rate of cardiac risk factor, and the atherogenic and liver indices as compared to the normal rats. Structure-activity analyses of coumarins implicated a double bond at C3-C4 and a methoxy group at C7 as being essential for the cholesterol-lowering activity. 7-Methoxycoumarin may partially inhibit the intestinal absorption of cholesterol by interfering with micelle formation. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
