<jats:p>Coumarin‐related compounds, auraptene and umbelliferone, have been isolated from the cold‐pressed oil of <jats:italic>natsumikan (Citrus natsudaidai</jats:italic> HAYATA), and tested as inhibitors of tumor promoter 12‐O‐tetradecanoylphorbol‐13‐acetate (TPA)‐induced Epstein‐Barr virus activation in Raji cells. The 50% inhibitory concentration (IC<jats:sub>50</jats:sub>) of auraptene (18μ<jats:italic>M</jats:italic>)was almost equal to that of genistein. Umbelliferone, which lacks a geranyloxyl group present in auraptene, was less active (IC<jats:sub>50</jats:sub>=450 μ<jats:italic>M</jats:italic>). In a two‐stage carcinogenesis experiment with 7, 12‐dimethylbenz[α]anthracene (topical application at 0.19 μmol) and TPA (topical application at 1.6 nmol) in ICR mouse skin, topical application of auraptene (at 160 nmol) significantly reduced tumor incidence and the numbers of tumors per mouse by 27% (<jats:italic>P</jats:italic> < 0.01) and 23% (<jats:italic>P</jats:italic> < 0.05), respectively. Auraptene at a concentration of 50 μ<jats:italic>M</jats:italic> markedly suppressed superoxide (O<jats:sub>2</jats:sub><jats:sup>−</jats:sup>) generation induced by 100 n<jats:italic>M</jats:italic> TPA in differentiated human promyelocytic HL‐60 cells. Having no O<jats:sub>2</jats:sub><jats:sup>−</jats:sup> ‐scavenging potential, auraptene may inhibit the multicomponent NADPH oxidase system. Inhibition of intracellular hydroperoxide formation in differentiated HL‐60 cells by auraptene was also confirmed by flow‐cytometric analysis using 2′,7′‐dichlorofluorescein diacetate as a fluorescence probe. Quantitative analyses using high‐performance liquid chromatography showed the occurrence of auraptene not only in both the peels and sarcocarps of <jats:italic>natsumikan</jats:italic>, but also in those of <jats:italic>hassaku</jats:italic> orange (<jats:italic>C. hassaku</jats:italic>) and grapefruit (C. <jats:italic>paradisi</jats:italic>,) and even in their bottled fresh juice form. These results indicate that auraptene is a chemopreventer of skin tumorigenesis, and implies that suppression of leukocyte activation might be the mechanism through which it inhibits tumor promotion.</jats:p>
