Aesculine

The action of coumarin and many of its naturally occurring analogs such as umbelliferone, aesculetin, daphnetin, scopoletin, aesculin, and limettin on root growth has been compared by several investigators (7, SI, 118). In all cases coumarin was the most inhibitory.

The first observation of fluorescence in solution occurred in 1565 by the Spanish physician and botanist Nicolas Monardes, who noticed a blue tint in the water contained in a recipient fabricated with a specimen of wood called lignum nephriticum [3, 11]. It was known in 1570 that the blue coloration that is produced by white light from the aqueous extract of the lignum nephriticum or peregrinum disappeared in acid medium. In 1615 a similar behavior was observed from the rind of Aesculos hippocastanum in aqueous medium [4]. When placed in water, the rind of chestnut produces a colorless liquid with bluish reflections today it is known that this originates from aesculin fluorescence [12].
