In an attempt to find a new class of antibacterial agents, we have synthesized thirty new coumarin (2H-benzopyran-2-one) analogues. These derivatives include substituted azetidin-2-ones (β-lactam) 3a-f, pyrrolidin-2-ones 4a-f, 2H-1,3,4-oxadiazoles 5a-f, and thiazolidin-4-ones 6a-f attached to 4-phenyl-2H-benzopyran-2-one through an oxyacetamido or an oxymethyl bridge. The target compounds were synthesized starting from 2-oxo-4-phenyl-2H-benzo[b]pyran-7-yl-oxyacetic acid hydrazides 2a-f. The new compounds were evaluated as DNA gyrase-B inhibitors through molecular modeling and docking techniques using the Molsoft ICM 3.4-8C program. The synthesized compounds were also screened for antibacterial activity against four different species of Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria; as well as screening against C. albicans for antifungal activity. The molecular modeling data were in accordance with the antimicrobial screening results.
