Abstract
Coumarins, widely abundant natural heterocyclic compounds, are extensively employed in creating various biologically and pharmacologically potent substances. The hybridization of heterocycles presents a key opportunity to craft innovative multicyclic compounds with enhanced biological activity. Fusing different heterocyclic rings with the coumarin structure presents an intriguing method for crafting fresh hybrid compounds possessing remarkable biological effects. In the pursuit of creating heterocyclic-fused coumarins, a wide range of annulated heterocyclic[g]coumarin composites has been introduced, displaying impressive biological potency. The influence of the linear attachment of heterocyclic rings to the coumarin structure on the biological performance of the resulting compounds has been investigated. This review centers on the synthetic methodologies, structural activity relationship investigation, and biological potentials of annulated heterocyclic[g]coumarin composites. We conducted searches across several databases, including Web of Science, Google Scholar, PubMed, and Scopus. After sieving, we ultimately identified and included 71 pertinent studies published between 2000 and the middle of 2023. This will provide valuable perspectives for medicinal chemists in the prospective design and synthesis of lead compounds with significant therapeutic effects, centered around heterocycle-fused coumarin frameworks.

Abstract
A series of novel biphenyl-furocoumarin derivatives were synthesized based on the nuclear structure of imperatorin and identified by IR, 1H NMR, 13C NMR and MS, and evaluated for their ability to relax vessel on isolated rat mesenteric artery, basilar artery and renal artery, respectively. The majority of compounds demonstrated potent vasodilatation, and compound 8e expressed the highest activity (EC50 = 0.56 μM) in MA. Compounds with fluorine at 2-position of 5-phenyl get better activity than others with chlorine or bromine, and the compounds containing a bulky structure had relatively low activity, such as 8c (EC50 = 22.39 μM) in MA. As a follow-up, 8e, 10e, and 8c were docked into L-calcium channel (PDB code: 3G43) to explain the difference in the activity of the compounds.

Abstract
Two series of imperatorin analogs were synthesized based on our previous research and evaluated for their vasodilatation activities on in vitro rat mesenteric artery, basilar artery, and renal artery ring models. Target compounds were characterized by infrared, 1H NMR, and mass spectra. Most derivatives possessed significant vasodilatory activity on the mesenteric artery, and compound 3a exhibited favorable and broad vasodilatation activities on three kinds of rat artery ring models. The pharmacological results indicated that introducing nitrogen-contained ring in side chain or large steric hindrance at the distal end could increase the vasodilatory activity. Further, replacement of oxygen atom (-O-) in the skeleton of furocoumarin derivatives with nitrogen (-NH-) could cause the decrease of vasodilatory activity. The molecular docking also indicated that compound 3a showed a best affinity with α-1C receptor (PDB ID: 3G43). All these results suggested compound 3a would be a potential vasodilatory agent for hypertension.

Exp Ther Med 2016; 11:1748-1754.

Abstract
Chronic hypertension induces vascular and cardiac remodeling. OW1 is a novel imperatorin derivative that was previously reported to inhibit vascular remodeling and improve kidney function affected by hypertension. In the present study, the effect of OW1 on the cardiac remodeling induced by hypertension was investigated. OW1 inhibited vascular smooth muscle cell (VSMC) proliferation and the phenotypic modulation of VSMCs induced by angiotensin II (Ang II). The OW1-induced vasodilatation of rat cardiac arteries was evaluated in vitro. Renovascular hypertensive rats were developed using the two-kidney one-clip method and treated with OW1 (40 or 80 mg/kg/day) or nifedipine (30 mg/kg per day) for 5 weeks. OW1 markedly reduced the systolic and diastolic blood pressure compared with that in the hypertension group or the respective baseline value during the first week. OW1 also reduced cardiac weight, and the concentrations of Ang II, aldosterone and transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1). Histological examination demonstrated that OW1 exerted an inhibitory effect on vascular and cardiac remodeling. These inhibitory effects were associated with decreased cardiac levels of Ang II, matrix metalloproteinase-2 and TGF-β1 in the hypertensive rats. In summary, OW1 exhibited a clear antihypertensive effect. More importantly, it inhibited vascular and cardiovascular remodeling, which may reduce the risk of hypertension-induced cardiovascular diseases. These results have potential implications in the development of new antihypertensive drugs.

Abstract
OW1 is a novel imperatorin derivative that exhibits vasodilator activity. In the present study, the antihypertensive effect of and inhibition of vascular remodelling by OW1 were investigated in two-kidney, one-clip (2K1C) renovascular hypertensive rats. Rats were subjected to the 2K1C procedure and treated with OW1 (40 or 80 mg/kg per day) for 8 weeks. Blood pressure was measured in conscious rats. Microalbumin (mALB) and total protein (U-TP) concentrations were determined in the urine, as were plasma concentrations of angiotensin (Ang) II, calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) and angiotensin-converting enzyme 1 (ACE). The unclipped kidney was stained with haematoxylin and eosin and Masson trichrome, whereas aortic sections were stained with Masson trichrome. In addition, OW1-induced vasodilatation was evaluated in vitro in rat mesenteric and renal arteries. Immunohistochemical analysis was used to quantify collagen I and III expression. OW1 relaxed rat mesenteric and renal arterial rings in vitro. Treatment of 2K1C hypertensive rats with OW1 (40 and 80 mg/kg per day) for 8 weeks significantly decreased blood pressure. In addition, OW1 reduced plasma AngII and ACE concentrations and increased plasma CGRP concentrations. At 80 mg/kg per day, OW1 decreased blood urea nitrogen, mALB and U-TP levels. Histological analysis revealed that OW1 reduced renal arteriolar thickness and relieved the structural hypertrophic arteries. Moreover, OW1 had an inhibitory effect on vascular remodelling and renal lesions in hypertensive rats. In conclusion, the results suggest that OW1 could potentially be a novel candidate for hypertension intervention.
