The present study was aimed at investigating the antioxidant activities of coumarin in streptozotocin (STZ)-nicotinamide (NA) induced type 2 diabetic rats. Diabetes was induced in experimental rats by a single intraperitoneal (i.p.) injection of STZ (45 mg/kg body weight (b.w.)), 15 min after the i.p. administration of NA (110 mg/kg b.w.). Diabetic rats were administered coumarin intragastrical...

BACKGROUND Reaction of azides with triaryl phosphines under mild conditions gives iminophosphoranes which can react with almost any kind of electrophilic reagent, e.g. aldehydes/ketones to form imines or esters to form amides. This so-called Staudinger ligation has been employed in a wide range of applications as a general tool for bioconjugation including specific labeling of nucleic acids. ...

An efficient synthesis of some novel coumarin derivatives via 1, 4- Michael addition of indole to coumarin chalcones catalyzed by cellulose sulphonic acid (CSA) under solvent free conditions is described. The corresponding Michael addition products were obtained in good to excellent yield. The synthesized compounds were screened for their antibacterial activity against E. coli, S. aureus and an...

OBJECTIVE To investigate the effectiveness of aspirin and coumarin in preventing thromboembolism in patients with non-rheumatic atrial fibrillation in general practice. DESIGN Randomised controlled trial. PARTICIPANTS 729 patients aged >/=60 years with atrial fibrillation, recruited in general practice, who had no established indication for coumarin. Mean age was 75 years and mean follow up...

An inverse design methodology suitable to assist the synthesis and optimization of molecular sensitizers for dye-sensitized solar cells is introduced. The method searches for molecular adsorbates with suitable photoabsorption properties through continuous optimization of "alchemical" structures in the vicinity of a reference molecular framework. The approach is illustrated as applied to the des...

In the title compound, C(21)H(18)O(6), a previously unknown coumarin derivative, the benzoyl substitutent makes a dihedral angle of 53.80 (16)° with the plane of the coumarin rings. An intramolecular O-H⋯O hydrogen bond is observed.

A coumarin-fused diazirine photolabeling agent exhibited dramatic enhancement in fluorescence after cross-linking with the target protein. Fluorescence emission from the coumarin moiety was efficiently quenched by the diazirine group, and was then intensively recovered from photolysis treatment by irradiation with light at a wavelength of 365 nm.

In the title compound, C(15)H(10)O(2), a 3-phenyl derivative of the coumarin (also known as 2H-chromen-2-one or 2H-1-benzopyran-2-one) scaffold, the C(p)-C(p)-C(c)-C(c) torsion angle between the coumarin (c) ring system and the phenyl (p) ring is -47.6 (2)°.

An aqueous molecular tube composed of polyaromatic frameworks with peripheral hydrophilic groups was prepared. The new tube has a well-defined hydrophobic cavity with a diameter of ∼1 nm and quantitatively binds two molecules of fluorescent coumarin dyes in aqueous solutions. The bound coumarin dimers in a stacked fashion exhibit unusual excimer-like emissions in the confined space through effi...
