A new series of coumarin-1,2,3-triazole conjugates with varied alkyl, phenyl and heterocycle moieties at C-4 of the triazole nucleus were synthesized using a copper(I)-catalysed Huisgen 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reaction of corresponding O-propargylated coumarin (3) or N-propargylated coumarin (6) with alkyl or aryl azides. Based on their minimal inhibitory concentrations (MICs) against selecte...

The spectroscopic properties of a poly(methyl methacrylate) matrix doped with a coumarin dye, a cyanine dye, and a photochromic spiropyran dye have been investigated. Before UV irradiation of the matrix, excitation of the coumarin dye results in minimal energy transfer to the cyanine dye. The energy transfer is substantially enhanced following UV irradiation of the matrix, which converts the co...

As anticoagulant therapy has become more widespread and a greater knowledge has been accumulated regarding the mode of action of coumarin derivatives, problems arising from the use of different thromboplastin preparations have been subjected to greater scrutiny. This paper presents an evaluation of the dependability and significance of different types of tissue thromboplastin in the determinati...

The objective of this study was to determine the coumarin content of ground cinnamon purchased from retail markets in the Czech Republic. No sample was labelled with information on the botanical source, but, in some cases, the countries of origin were specified. For comparison, a single cinnamon sample imported directly from a plantation in Sri Lanka that came from Cinnamomum verum was analyzed...

A series of lanthanide complexes [Ln(dpxCy)3](3-) have been synthesised. The ligands are composed of a coordinating dipicolinic acid backbone decorated with a polyoxyethylene arm fitted with a coumarin moiety at its extremity. The nature of the coumarin as well as the length of the linker have been varied. Upon excitation at 320 nm, the coumarin exclusively acts as an antenna while the dipicoli...

Wide individual variations in response to drugs is a common clinical problem, and is especially evident with coumarin anticoagulant therapy (1-3). A possible contributing factor to such variations could be the influence of another presumably unrelated drug upon the response to the coumarin anticoagulant. Reports from several laboratories (4-7) indicate that barbiturates can reduce the prothromb...

A series of new conjugated compounds with a -SCH₂- linkage were synthesized by chemical methods from imidazole and coumarin derivatives. The experimental results indicate that of the twenty newly synthesized imidazole-coumarin conjugates, three of them exhibited appealing EC50 values (5.1-8.4 μM) and selective indices >20 against hepatitis C virus. Their potency and selectivity were increased s...

Absract: Rotational dynamics of two structurally similar coumarins; coumarin 7 and coumarin 30 has been studied using a steady state fluorescence depolarization technique and time correlated single photon counting method as a function of temperature in ethanol and n-decane solvents. Experimentally measured reorientation times of these coumarins are identical in a given solvents at a particular ...

UNLABELLED BACKGROUND Coumarin derivatives exhibit a wide range of biological properties including promising antioxidant activity. Furthermore, microwave-assisted organic synthesis has delivered rapid routes to N- and O-containing heterocycles, including coumarins and thiazoles. Combining these features, the use of microwave-assisted processes will provide rapid access to a targeted coumarin...
