Abstract

Coumarins are not new compounds, because they are extracted, or  derived, from plants. It is because of this that they have several  properties that are beneficial to mankind. Apoptosis, on the other  hand, is also referred to a form of cell death that can be artificially  induced, and studied, in the laboratory. This process is important  because it naturally occurs in the human body. Therefore, it is  important to get an appreciation of the different cellular components  involved in this process and how coumarins forge a relationship with  apoptosis. Therefore, in this article, the interplay between apoptosis  and coumarins will be comprehensively analysed.
