In the title coumarin derivative (also known as 2H-chromen-2-one or 2H-1-benzopyran-2-one), C17H11NO6, the coumarin ring system is nearly planar, with a dihedral angle of 3.35 (9)° between the pyrone and the benzene rings. The dihedral angle between the planes formed by the coumarin ring system and the benzene substituent is 54.60 (7)°, clearly showing the non-coplanarity of the whole aromatic ...

The aim of this study was to develop a robust method for the simultaneous determination of the activities of three porcine CYP450 enzymes in hepatic microsomes. A cocktail consisting of three selective CYP450 probe substrates, 7-ethoxyresorufin (CYP1A), coumarin (CYP2A) and 7-benzyloxy-4-trifluoromethylcoumarin (BFC; CYP3A), was incubated with porcine liver microsomes. The presence of 7-ethoxyr...

In the crystal structure, the title compound, C(24)H(22)O(8), lies on a twofold rotation axis and the asymmetric unit comprises one half-mol-ecule. The dihedral angle formed by the coumarin unit with the symmetry-related part is 74.78 (14)°. One of the meth-oxy groups attached to the coumarin unit is considerably twisted, making an angle of 87.17 (17)° with respect to the coumarin unit; the oth...

This paper describes the fine-tuning of the acidichromic properties of a coumarin-containing colorant 1 by incorporation of electron-donating and electron-withdrawing substituents on the coumarin moiety. Colorant 1 can undergo two distinct and reversible color changes under both strongly acidic and basic conditions, but not in the presence of gaseous ammonia. The results indicated that the brom...

To increase the targeting potential, circulation time, and the flexibility of surface-attached biomedically-relevant ligands on gold nanoparticles, hetero-bifunctional poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG, MW 1,500) was synthesized having a thiol group on one terminus and a reactive functional group on the other. Coumarin, a model fluorescent dye, was conjugated to the PEG spacer and gold nanoparticles w...

The 'guaco' lianous herb Mikania laevigata, which is widespread in Southern Brazil, is traditionally used to treat bronchitis, asthma and cough. This work investigates the influence of the extraction method, solvent:drug ratio, ethanol proportion, harvest season (summer or winter) and solvent heating on the physicochemical profile of the extracts (dry weight, density, pH) and the coumarin (1,2-...

The effect of three aromatic amines namely aniline (AN), dimethyl aniline (DMAN) and diethyl aniline (DEAN) on emission properties of a coumarin derivative 6-methyl-3azidoacetyl coumarin (6M3AAC) in acetonitrile was studied by means of steady state fluorescence spectroscopy. The quenching of fluorescence intensity was observed in the presence of amines. The quenching process was characterized b...

The immobilization of some coumarin derivatives on modified poly(ethylene glycol)s is reported and the influence of the polymeric support on the photoluminescence activity of the compounds is discussed. Upon ultraviolet excitation, the derivatives showed coumarin-related emission properties whose peak position and efficiency depended on the loading of the polymer and on the mesomeric effects of...

We have synthesized and evaluated two self-immobilizing, turn-on fluorescent probes carrying a coumarin molecular framework for imaging intracellular human steroid sulfatase (STS) activity. The 8-fluoromethyl coumarin derivative, which gives stronger fluorescence response in the incubation study with STS preparations, was successfully applied to visualize STS activity in cells.
