[PMID: 38927399 PMCID: PMC11200728 DOI: 10.3390/biomedicines12061192] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/05/2024] [Revised: 05/24/2024] [Accepted: 05/25/2024] [Indexed: 06/28/2024] Open
Abstract
Breast cancer is the most common cancer among women. Currently, it poses a significant threat to the healthcare system due to the emerging resistance and toxicity of available drug candidates in clinical practice, thus generating an urgent need for the development of new potent and safer anti-breast cancer drug candidates. Coumarin (chromone-2-one) is an elite ring system widely distributed among natural products and possesses a broad range of pharmacological properties. The unique distribution and pharmacological efficacy of coumarins attract natural product hunters, resulting in the identification of numerous natural coumarins from different natural sources in the last three decades, especially those with anti-breast cancer properties. Inspired by this, numerous synthetic derivatives based on coumarins have been developed by medicinal chemists all around the globe, showing promising anti-breast cancer efficacy. This review is primarily focused on the development of coumarin-inspired anti-breast cancer agents in the last three decades, especially highlighting design strategies, mechanistic insights, and their structure-activity relationship. Natural coumarins having anti-breast cancer efficacy are also briefly highlighted. This review will act as a guideline for researchers and medicinal chemists in designing optimum coumarin-based potent and safer anti-breast cancer agents.

Abstract
In this work, a series of novel 3-amino-4H-thieno[3,2-c]coumarins were designed and synthesized by a one-pot, catalyst-free, and three-component reaction of 3-acetylcoumarins with amines and elemental sulfur. Readily available starting materials, simple heating conditions, facile installation of a sulfur atom into the molecule using S8 as a sulfur source, acceptable functional group tolerance, and synthetically useful yields are some highlighted benefits of this process.

Abstract
The combination of heterocycles offers a new opportunity to create novel multicyclic compounds having improved biological activity. Coumarins are ubiquitous natural heterocycle widely adopted in the design of various biologically active compounds. Fusing different heterocycles with coumarin ring is one of the interesting approaches to generating novel hybrid molecules having highlighted biological activities. In the efforts to develop heterocyclic-fused coumarins, a wide range of 3,4-heterocycle-fused coumarins have been introduced bearing outstanding biological activity. The effect of heterocycles annulation at 3,4-positions of coumarin ring on the biological activity of the target structures were discussed. This review focuses on the important progress of 3,4-heterocycle-fused coumarins providing better insight for medicinal chemists on the design and preparation of biologically active heterocycle-fused coumarins with a significant therapeutic effect in the future.

Design of Fluorescent Coumarin-Hydroxamic Acid Derivatives as Inhibitors of HDACs: Synthesis, Anti-Proliferative Evaluation and Docking Studies. Molecules 2020; 25:molecules25215134.

Abstract
Coumarin-hydroxamic acid derivatives 7a-k were herein designed with a dual purpose: as antiproliferative agents and fluorescent probes. The compounds were synthesized in moderate yields (30-87%) through a simple methodology, biological evaluation was carried out on prostate (PC3) and breast cancer (BT-474 and MDA-MB-231) cell lines to determine the effects on cell proliferation and gene expression. For compounds 7c, 7e, 7f, 7i and 7j the inhibition of cancer cell proliferation was similar to that found with the reference compound at a comparable concentration (10 μM), in addition, their molecular docking studies performed on histone deacetylases 1, 6 and 8 showed strong binding to the respective active sites. In most cases, antiproliferative activity was accompanied by greater levels of cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor p21, downregulation of the p53 tumor suppressor gene, and regulation of cyclin D1 gene expression. We conclude that compounds 7c, 7e, 7f, 7i and 7j may be considered as potential anticancer agents, considering their antiproliferative properties, their effect on the regulation of the genes, as well as their capacity to dock to the active sites. The fluorescent properties of compound 7j and 7k suggest that they can provide further insight into the mechanism of action.

Abstract
Furanocoumarins, particularly furo[3,2-c]coumarins, are found in many natural products. However, coumarins annulated to a thiophene ring have received scarce attention to date in the literature. Therefore, we synthesized 4-oxo-4H-thieno[3,2-c]chromene derivatives and tested in vitro their anti-inflammatory activity. Anti-inflammatory potential of the synthesized compounds (1, 2, 6-8, 9a-e and 10a-c) has been evaluated by measuring various pSTAT (signal transducer and activator of transcription) inhibition within the JAK (Janus-activated family kinase)/STAT signaling pathway. Ethyl 7-hydroxy-4-oxo-4H-thieno[3,2-c]chromene-2-carboxylate (7) showed best inhibition properties on pSTAT5 in GM-CSF (Granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor)-triggered PBMC assay, with IC50 value of 5.0 µM.

Abstract
A facile and efficient protocol for the highly selective direct sulfanylation of 3-bromocoumarins under DABCO promotion, was developed. The transformation took place with aromatic and aliphatic thiols as well as with α,ω-dithiols, affording the expected products in very good to excellent yields. Simple and convenient ways to access 4-((ω-mercaptoalkyl) thio)coumarins and the dimeric 4,4′-(alkane-1,4-diylbis(sulfanediyl))bis(coumarins) were also devised with the use of α,ω-alkanedithiols in different ratios with regards to the starting 3-bromocoumarin. The transformation seems to proceed through the DABCO-mediated thia-Michael stereoselective addition of the thiolate anion to the α,β-unsaturated carbonyl system of the coumarin, followed by a DABCO-assisted stereoselective dehydrobromination of the resulting α-bromo carbonyl intermediate. A facile, simple and metal-free protocol for the 4-sulfanylation of 3-bromocoumarins was developed. It involves a thia-Michael addition and a dehydrobromination under DABCO assistance.![]()
