In this manuscript we report the synthesis, pharmacological evaluation and docking studies of a selected series of 3-aryl and 3-heteroarylcoumarins with the aim of finding structural features for the tyrosinase inhibitory activity. The synthesized compounds were evaluated as mushroom tyrosinase inhibitors. Compound 12b showed the lowest IC50(0.19 μM) of the series, being approximately 100 times more active than kojic acid, used as a reference compound. The kinetic studies of tyrosinase inhibition revealed that 12b acts as a competitive inhibitor of mushroom tyrosinase with l-DOPA as the substrate. Furthermore, the absence of cytotoxicity in B16F10 melanoma cells was determined for this compound. The antioxidant profile of all the derivatives was evaluated by measuring radical scavenging capacity (ABTS and DPPH assays). Docking experiments were carried out on mushroom tyrosinase structures to better understand the structure-activity relationships.

In the present work we synthesized a selected series of hydroxylated 3-phenylcoumarins 5-8, with the aim of evaluating in detail their antioxidant properties. From an in depth study of the antioxidant capacity data (ORAC-FL, ESR, CV and ROS inhibition) it

The design, synthesis, pharmacological evaluation, and theoretical studies of a new series of halogenated 3-arylcoumarins were carried out with the aim of finding new structural and biological features. This series displays several alkyl, hydroxy, halogen, and/or alkoxy groups in both benzene rings of the 3-arylcoumarin scaffold. Most of the compounds studied show high affinity and selectivity for the human monoamine oxidase B (hMAO-B) isoenzyme, with IC 50 values in the low nanomolar and picomolar range. Most of the evaluated compounds display higher MAO-B inhibitory activity and selectivity than selegiline (the reference compound). Coumarin 12 (3-(3-bromophenyl)-6- methylcoumarin) is the most active compound (IC50=134 pM), being 140-fold more active than selegiline and showing the highest specificity for hMAO-B. To better understand the structure-activity relationships, docking experiments were carried out on human monoamine oxidase (A and B) structures. Finally, the prediction of passive blood-brain partitioning, based on in silico derived physicochemical descriptors, was performed. Coumarins crossing the barrier: The design and synthesis of a new series of halogenated 3-arylcoumarins are described. Monoamine oxidase A and B in vitro inhibition studies, in silico prediction of passive blood-brain partitioning, and docking calculations showed most of the 3-arylcoumarin compounds to be potent and selective.
Synthesis of 3-arylcoumarins through N-heterocyclic carbene catalyzed condensation and annulation of 2-chloro-2-arylacetaldehydes with salicylaldehydes

The condensation reaction of 2-chloro-2-arylacetaldehyde with salicylaldehyde catalyzed by N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) leading to 3-arylcoumarin was studied. A number of 3-arylcoumarin derivatives were obtained in good to excellent yields via this umpolung reaction. This reaction is facile and experimentally simple and mild.

Twenty hydroxylated and acetoxylated 3-phenylcoumarins were synthesized, and the structure-activity relationships were investigated by evaluating the ability of these compounds to modulate horseradish peroxidase (HRP) catalytic activity and comparing the results to four flavonoids (quercetin, myricetin, kaempferol and galangin), previously reported as HRP inhibitors. It was observed that 3-phenylcoumarins bearing a catechol group were as active as quercetin and myricetin, which also show this substituent in the B-ring. The presence of 6,2′-dihydroxy group or 6,7,3′,4′-tetraacetoxy group in the 3-phenylcoumarin structure also contributed to a significant inhibitory effect on the HRP activity. The catechol-containing 3-phenylcoumarin derivatives also showed free radical scavenger activity. Molecular modeling studies by docking suggested that interactions between the heme group in the HRP active site and the catechol group linked to the flavonoid B-ring or to the 3-phenyl coumarin ring are important to inhibit enzyme catalytic activity.
