(Chemical Equation Presented) A new series of 3-acyl-6,7,8-substituted coumarin derivatives has been synthesized in high yields (79-99%) and characterized by means of elemental analysis, mass spectrometry, IR, and 1H NMR spectroscopy. We examined with particular attention the presence of an acyl group at position 3 (ethyl ester, carboxylic acid, and acyl chloride), and of a hydroxyl group at position 7 or a functionalized one like benzyloxy or phthalimido. The hydroxyl group has been modified by an etherification in presence of crown ether with substituted benzyl bromide or chloride to evaluate the influence on chemical characteristics and lipophilicity of coumarin nucleus. Halogens (Cl, Br) and methyl group were introduced in position 6 and 8 of the coumarin ring, respectively, in order to study their effect on reaction feasibility. Some of these 3-acyl derivatives have been recently assayed as MAO inhibitors and as intermediates (i.e. reactive chloride derivative) to design new anti-Helicobacter pylori agents.

A large series of 3-carboxamido-7-substituted coumarins have been synthesized and tested in vitro for their human monoamine oxidase A and B (hMAO-A and hMAO-B) inhibitory activity. Taking into account all the relevant structural information on MAOs reported in the literature, we made some changes in the coumarin nucleus and examined with particular attention the effect on activity and selectivity of substituting at position 3 with N-aryl or N-alkyl carboxamide and at position 7 with a benzyloxy or a 4'-F-benzyloxy group. Some of the assayed compounds proved to be potent, selective inhibitors of hMAO-B with IC50 values in the micromolar range. To better understand the enzyme-inhibitor interaction and to explain the selectivity of the most active compounds toward hMAOs, molecular modeling studies were carried out on new, high resolution, hMAO-A and hMAO-B crystallographic structures. ?2009 American Chemical Society.
