Esculetin (6,7-dihydroxycoumarin) and its diacetate exhibited a marked inhibitory effect on Newcastle disease virus replication in cell cultures at concentrations of 36 microM and 62 microM, respectively. These compounds were selected from ten hydroxycoumarin derivatives through an in vitro antiviral screen involving viruses of the picorna-, orthomyxo-, paramyxo-, and herpes virus families.

A highly efficient and general method for the synthesis of aryloylamido coumarinsderivatives by a three-component condensation of 4-hydroxycoumarin or 4-hydroxy-6-methylpyran-1-one, aryl glyoxals and benzamide in the presence of nano silica supported tin(II) chloride as a heterogeneous catalyst is established. In this method, SnCl2/nano SiO2 wasused as green and reusable catalyst. Excellent yie...

Six novel 4-hydroxycoumarin derivatives were rationally synthesized, verified, and characterized by molecular docking using crystal HIV-1 protease. Molecular docking studies predicted antiprotease activity of (7) and (10). The most significant functional groups, responsible for the interaction with HIV-1 protease by hydrogen bonds formation are pyran oxygen, atom, lactone carbonyl oxygen and on...

It is important that pharmacy students taking basic courses in pharmacology and toxicology are taught about function, regulation and multiplicity of drug metabolizing enzymes. We have developed an easy, reliably reproducible and relatively inexpensive laboratory work based on the different fluoresence properties of coumarin and its metabolites, 7-hydroxycoumarin and 7-O-glucuronide coumarin, to...

Herein, the integrated raw data regarding the (1)H-NMR, experiments of Aesculetin, 4-Methylumbelliferone, and umbelliferone, in Acetone-d(6) at 25 °C, are presented for further analysis and comparison purposes, for whom may be interested.

Silica-bonded n-propyldiethylenetriamine sulfamic acid (SBPDSA) was found as an efficient solid acid for the synthesis of coumarins. Coumarin derivatives were obtained via the Pechmann condensation reaction of phenols and β-keto-esters at 80 oC under solvent-free conditions. Also, biscoumarins were obtained via the condensation of aldehydes and 4-hydroxycoumarin in water at reflux conditions. T...

The direct three component modified Mannich reaction via condensation of aldehydes, 2-naphthol or 2,7-naphthalendiol and piperidine to generate Betti bases has been carried out over L-proline (20 mol%) with high efficiency under solvent free conditions at 70 OC. Also, the reaction of aromatic aldehyde and 4-hydroxycoumarin in the presence of L-proline (20 mol%) in the ethanol under reflux condi...
