A coumarin-based prodrug system plays a significant role in preparing esterase-sensitive prodrugs of amines and peptides. The electronic structures of 27 coumarin-based prodrugs developed in our lab were calculated at a B3LYP/6-31+G (d,p) level with a Gaussian 03 program. The calculated structural parameters were taken as theoretical descriptors to establish five novel QSPR models. The SMLR lin...

Coumarin and its derivatives represent one of the most active curriculums compound possessing a broad spectrum biological activity along with other applications such as insecticide fragrance. There are various methodologies developed for synthesis coumarins. Classical routes to coumarins include Pechmann condensation, Knoevenagel Perkin reaction, Wittig condensation reactions. Researchers have ...

BACKGROUND Coumarins are a major group of plant secondary metabolites that serves as defense compounds against pathogens. Although coumarins can be obtained from diverse plant sources, the use of microorganisms to synthesize them could be an alternative way to supply building blocks for the synthesis of diverse coumarin derivatives. RESULTS Constructs harboring two genes, F6'H (encoding ferul...

This review highlights the broad range of science that has arisen from the synthesis of coumarin-linked and fused heterocycle derivatives. Specific topics include their synthesis and biological activity.

Coumarin derivatives have shown different biological activities, such as antifungal, antibacterial antiinflammatory, and antioxidant besides antibiotic resistance modulating effects, anti-HIV, hepatoprotective, antitumor effect. So, new coumarin (hydrazones an amide) were synthesized through multisteps reactions. All the target compounds characterized by FT-IR spectroscopy, 1HNMR analysis. The ...

a series of 2-amino pyridine-3-carbinitrile derivatives incorporated coumarin moiety has developed via multicomponent condensation of 3-acetyl-2h-chromen-2-one, arylaldehydes, malononitrile and ammonium acetate utilizing brønsted acidic ionic liquid, (4-sulfobutyl)tris(4-sulfophenyl)phosphonium hydrogen sulfate as catalyst under solvent-free conditions. good yields, short reaction times, straig...

The Pechmann reaction of substituted phenols 1a-e with methyl acetoacetate (2) can be activated by boron trifluoride dihydrate (3) to give the corresponding 4-methyl- coumarin derivatives 4a-e in excellent yield (98-99 %).
