Overproduction of uric acid in the body leads to hyperuricemia, which is also closely related to gout. Uric acid production can be lowered by xanthine oxidase (XO) inhibitors. Inhibition of XO has also been proposed as a mechanism for improving cardiovascular health. Therefore, the search for new efficient XO inhibitors is an interesting topic in drug discovery. 3-Phenylcoumarins and 2-phenylbenzofurans are privileged scaffolds in medicinal chemistry. Their structural similarity makes them interesting molecules for a comparative study. Methoxy and nitro substituents were introduced in both scaffolds. The current study gives some insights into the synthesis and biological activity of these molecules against this important target. For the best compound of the series, the 3-(4-methoxyphenyl)-6-nitrocoumarin (4), the IC50 value, type of inhibition, cytotoxicity on B16F10 cells and ADME theoretical properties, were determined. Docking studies were also performed in order to better understand the interactions of this molecule with the XO binding pocket. This work is a preliminary screening for further design and synthesis of new non-purinergic derivatives as potential compounds involved in the inflammatory suppression, specially related to gout.

A highly efficient and straightforward synthesis of diversely substituted coumarins from ynamides and salicylaldehydes in the presence of Zn(II) catalyst has been developed. The sulfonamide moiety of ynamides was successfully recycled in this process, serving as an effective traceless directing group for high regioselectivity in the bond-forming event. The advantages of this protocol are good functional group tolerance, broad substrate scope, simple and high-yielding reaction, recovery/reuse of the sulfonamides, low catalyst loading of inexpensive catalyst, and, by these merits, a more cost-effective and greener process.

A highly regioselective and transition-metal free one-pot arylation of chromenones with arylboronic acids has been achieved employing K2S2O8. The procedure consists of a sequence of some reactions including an arylation/decarboxylation cascade and proceeds well in aqueous media to afford biologically interesting flavones and 3-arylcoumarins. This method exhibited excellent selectivity and functional group tolerance under mild conditions. The reaction also showed perfect efficacy for the preparation of styryl coumarins.

Controlling reaction selectivity is an eternal pursuit for chemists working in chemical synthesis. As part of this endeavor, our group has been exploring the possibility of constructing different natural product skeletons from the same simple starting mat

The Mukaiyama's esterification protocol, using 2-chloro-1-methylpyridinium iodide-triethylamine reagent, has been successfully exploited to provide rapid access to a variety of 3-substituted coumarins in satisfactory yields.
