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...

The Coumarine heterocyclic ring is common feature of various bioactive compounds such as calanolides, lipid-lowering agents. The Chemists all over the globe are motivated not only for the environmentally benign synthesis of new products but also to develop green synthesis for existing chemicals. Coumarins, the most important classes of fluorescent molecules constitute important structural featu...

Abstract Coumarin and its nitrogen analogue 1-aza coumarin are a class of lactones lactams, respectively, which indispensable heterocyclic units to both chemists biochemists. 1-Aza derivatives, ultimately metabolize as the corresponding 8-hydroxy coumarins in biological system therefore found be very good anti-inflammatory, anti-cancer, analgesic agents. A series hybrid substituted azacoumarin-...

Microbial biotransformation, one of the tools of green chemistry, is widely used in organic synthesis to cutshort number of organic intermediates in obtaining the final required compounds. In the present study, an approach was made for preparing substituted derivatives of coumarin as therapeutic agents. Nine biotransformation experiments were performed where random combination of four microorga...

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-...
