4-Methylumbelliferone is a hyaluronic acid (HA) synthesis inhibitor with an IC50 of 0.4 mM, which has antitumoral and antimetastatic effects. 4-Methylumbelliferone may inhibit the phosphorylation of HAS2 by PKC through the stimulation of O-GlcNAcylation; it also similarly ameliorates hypertriglyceridemia and hyperglycemia partly by modulating hepatic lipid metabolism and the antioxidant defense system along with increasing adiponectin levels. 4-methylumbelliferone is a hydroxycoumarin that is umbelliferone substituted by a methyl group at position 4. It has a role as a hyaluronic acid synthesis inhibitor and an antineoplastic agent. It is functionally related to an umbelliferone.

Ganoderic acid Z is a triterpenoid.
