A review of the ethnomedicinal, phytochemical, and pharmacological properties of the Ferulago genus based on Structure-Activity Relationship (SAR) of coumarins. Daru 2024:10.1007/s40199-024-00530-1. [PMID: 39158662 DOI: 10.1007/s40199-024-00530-1] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/04/2023] [Accepted: 06/30/2024] [Indexed: 08/20/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND The Ferluago W.D.J. Koch genus includes 48 accepted perennial herbs that are distributed in the Mediterranean region, Southeast Europe, Central and Middle East of Asia. These plants are widely used in folk and conventional medicine due to their biological benefits such as anti-microbial, anti-inflammatory, anti-cancer, and immunomodulatory properties. Conducting a comprehensive review based on the structure activity relationships (SARs) of the coumarins, which has not been previously documented, can lead to a better insight into the genus Ferulago and its beneficial therapeutic activities. METHODS This review covers literature from 1969 to 2023, were collected from various scientific electronic databases to review phytochemical, pharmacological, and ethnopharmacological data of Ferulago species, as well as latest information on the SAR of reported coumarins from this genus. RESULTS Phytochemical studies showed that the biological actions of this genus are mediated by the reported specialized metabolites, such as coumarins and flavonoids. Simple coumarins, prenylated coumarins, furanocoumarins, and pyranocoumarins are the largest subclasses of coumarins found in diverse Ferulago species, which have discussed the biological effects of them with a focus on the Structure-Activity Relationship (SAR). For example, prenylated coumarins have shown potential leishmanicidal and anti-neuropsychiatric effects when substituted with a prenyl group at the 7-hydroxy, as well as the C6 and C8 positions in their scaffold. Similarly, furanocoumarins exhibit varied biological activities such as anti-inflammatory, anti-proliferative, and anti-convulsant effects. Modifying substitutions at the C5 and C6 positions in furanocoumarins can enhance these activities. CONCLUSION This study conducted a comprehensive review of all available information on the phytochemical and pharmacological characteristics of Ferulago species. Given the high occurrence of coumarins in this genus, which exhibit potential anti-Alzheimer and anti-microbial properties, it presents promising new therapeutic avenues for addressing these common issues. Further investigation is needed to understand the molecular-level mechanisms of action and to explore their clinical applications.

[PMID: 39199710 PMCID: PMC11351996 DOI: 10.3390/bioengineering11080752] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/12/2024] [Revised: 07/12/2024] [Accepted: 07/17/2024] [Indexed: 09/01/2024] Open
Abstract
In this study, we investigated the antibacterial activity of the coumarin component isolated from lime peel and coumarin derivatives synthesized using various techniques against eight types of food-poisoning bacteria. The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) for the 3b [5,7-dihydroxy-4-trifluoromethylcoumarin] derivative was measured as 1.5 mM in Bacillus cereus, Micrococcus luteus, Listeria monocytogenes, and Staphylococcus aureus subsp. aureus; that for the 3c [7-hydroxy-4-trifluoromethylcoumarin] derivative was 1.7 mM in Enterococcus facium; and that for the 3n [dicoumarol] derivative was 1.2 mM in L. monocytogenes. These results confirmed that coumarin derivatives with CF3 and OH substituents had enhanced antibacterial activity.

Abstract
The structural motif of coumarins is related with various biological activities and pharmacological properties. Both natural coumarin extracted from various plants or a new coumarin derivative synthesized by modification of the basic structure of coumarin, in vitro experiments showed that coumarins are a promising class of anti-tumor agents with high selectivity. Cancer is a complex and multifaceted group of diseases characterized by the uncontrolled and abnormal growth of cells in the body. This review focuses on the anticancer mechanism of various coumarins synthesized and isolated in more than a decade. Isopentenyloxycoumarins inhibit angiogenesis by reducing CCl2 chemokine levels. Ferulin C is a potent colchicine-binding agent that destabilizes microtubules, exhibiting antiproliferative and anti-metastatic effects in breast cancer cells through PAK1 and PAK2-mediated signaling. Trimers of triphenylethylene-coumarin hybrids demonstrated significant proliferation inhibition in HeLa, A549, K562, and MCF-7 cell lines. Platinum(IV) complexes with 4-hydroxycoumarin have the potential for high genotoxicity against tumor cells, inducing apoptosis in SKOV-3 cells by up-regulating caspase 3 and caspase 9 expression. Derivatives of 3-benzyl coumarin seco-B-ring induce apoptosis, mediated through the PI3K/Akt/mTOR signaling pathway. Sesquiterpene coumarins inhibit the efflux pump of multidrug resistance-associated protein. Coumarin imidazolyl derivatives inhibit the aromatase enzyme, a major contributor to estrogen overproduction in estrogen-dependent breast cancer.

Abstract
Aqueous hydrotrope has been employed for the first time to synthesize heteroaryl dicoumarols by condensation of 4-hydroxycoumarin and different heterocyclic aldehydes. This method is highly efficient and green, and the same aqueous hydrotropic solution can be used up to five times without any considerable loss of yield in the product. The synthesized compounds showed good antibacterial potential against Gram-positive (Staphylococcus aureus/NTCC 0997 and B. oceanisediminis) and Gram-negative (Escherichia coli/D0157:H7 and E. coli rosetta) bacterial strains using the Resazurin microtiter plate visual method. The MIC value of 312 µg/ml for compounds 3b, 3k and 3l for S. aureus while 39 µg/ml for compounds 3a, 3b and 3k for E. coli and 625 µg/ml for 3a and 3b for B. oceanisediminis was observed. The compounds were screened via computational methods like molecular docking studies and molecular dynamic simulations with PDB Id's 2W9S and 2EX6. Antioxidant activity was assessed using DPPH and H2O2 assays. Five compounds with the best binding score in molecular docking with XO (PDB ID: 1FIQ) have been tested in an in-vitro study using an enzyme inhibition assay. Novel compound 3b gave the IC50 value of 0.28 µg/ml, comparable to the standard drug Allopurinol.Communicated by Ramaswamy H. Sarma.

Abstract
Coumarin, a plant secondary metabolite, has various pharmacological activities, including antioxidant stress and anti-inflammatory effects. Umbelliferone, a common coumarin compound found in almost all higher plants, has been extensively studied for its pharmacological effects in different disease models and doses with complex action mechanisms. This review aims to summarize these studies and provide useful information to relevant scholars. The pharmacological studies demonstrate that umbelliferone has diverse effects such as anti-diabetes, anti-cancer, anti-infection, anti-rheumatoid arthritis, neuroprotection, and improvement of liver, kidney, and myocardial tissue damage. The action mechanisms of umbelliferone include inhibition of oxidative stress, inflammation, and apoptosis, improvement of insulin resistance, myocardial hypertrophy, and tissue fibrosis, in addition to regulation of blood glucose and lipid metabolism. Among the action mechanisms, the inhibition of oxidative stress and inflammation is the most critical. In short, these pharmacological studies disclose that umbelliferone is expected to treat many diseases, and more research should be conducted.

Abstract
Staphylococcus aureus is recognized as commensal as well as opportunistic pathogen of humans and animals. Methicillin resistant strain of S. aureus (MRSA) has emerged as a major pathogen in hospitals, community and veterinary settings that compromises the public health and livestock production. MRSA basically emerged from MSSA after acquiring SCCmec element through gene transfer containing mecA gene responsible for encoding PBP-2α. This protein renders the MRSA resistant to most of the β-lactam antibiotics. Due to the continuous increasing prevalence and transmission of MRSA in hospitals, community and veterinary settings posing a major threat to public health. Furthermore, high pathogenicity of MRSA due to a number of virulence factors produced by S. aureus along with antibiotic resistance help to breach the immunity of host and responsible for causing severe infections in humans and animals. The clinical manifestations of MRSA consist of skin and soft tissues infection to bacteremia, septicemia, toxic shock, and scalded skin syndrome. Moreover, due to the increasing resistance of MRSA to number of antibiotics, there is need to approach alternatives ways to overcome economic as well as human losses. This review is going to discuss various aspects of MRSA starting from emergence, transmission, epidemiology, pathophysiology, disease patterns in hosts, novel treatment, and control strategies.

7-Hydroxycoumarin Induces Vasorelaxation in Animals with Essential Hypertension: Focus on Potassium Channels and Intracellular Ca2+ Mobilization. Molecules 2022; 27:molecules27217324.

Abstract
Cardiovascular diseases (CVD) are the deadliest noncommunicable disease worldwide. Hypertension is the most prevalent risk factor for the development of CVD. Although there is a wide range of antihypertensive drugs, there still remains a lack of blood pressure control options for hypertensive patients. Additionally, natural products remain crucial to the design of new drugs. The natural product 7-hydroxycoumarin (7-HC) exhibits pharmacological properties linked to antihypertensive mechanisms of action. This study aimed to evaluate the vascular effects of 7-HC in an experimental model of essential hypertension. The isometric tension measurements assessed the relaxant effect induced by 7-HC (0.001 μM–300 μM) in superior mesenteric arteries isolated from hypertensive rats (SHR, 200–300 g). Our results suggest that the relaxant effect induced by 7-HC rely on K+-channels (KATP, BKCa, and, to a lesser extent, Kv) activation and also on Ca2+ influx from sarcolemma and sarcoplasmic reticulum mobilization (inositol 1,4,5-triphosphate (IP3) and ryanodine receptors). Moreover, 7-HC diminishes the mesenteric artery’s responsiveness to α1-adrenergic agonist challenge and improves the actions of the muscarinic agonist and NO donor. The present work demonstrated that the relaxant mechanism of 7-HC in SHR involves endothelium-independent vasorelaxant factors. Additionally, 7-HC reduced vasoconstriction of the sympathetic agonist while improving vascular endothelium-dependent and independent relaxation.

Abstract
A set of twenty-four synthetic derivatives, with coumarin and homoisoflavonoid cores and structural analogs, were submitted for evaluation of antifungal activity against various species of Candida. The broth microdilution test was used to determine the Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (MIC) of the compounds and to verify the possible antifungal action mechanisms. The synthetic derivatives were obtained using various reaction methods, and six new compounds were obtained. The structures of the synthesized products were characterized by FTIR spectroscopy: 1H-NMR, 13C-NMR, and HRMS. The coumarin derivative 8 presented the best antifungal profile, suggesting that the pentyloxy substituent at the C-7 position of coumarin ring could potentiate the bioactivity. Compound 8 was then evaluated against the biofilm of C. tropicalis ATCC 13803, which showed a statistically significant reduction in biofilm at concentrations of 0.268 µmol/mL and 0.067 µmol/mL, when compared to the growth control group. For a better understanding of their antifungal activity, compounds 8 and 21 were submitted to a study of the mode of action on the fungal cell wall and plasma membrane. It was observed that neither compound interacted directly with ergosterol present in the fungal plasma membrane or with the fungal cell wall. This suggests that their bioactivity was due to interaction involving other pharmacological targets. Compound 8 was also subjected to a molecular modeling study, which showed that its antifungal action mechanism occurred mainly through interference in the redox balance of the fungal cell, and by compromising the plasma membrane; not by direct interaction, but by interference in ergosterol synthesis. Another important finding was the antifungal capacity of homoisoflavonoids 23 and 24. Derivative 23 presented slightly higher antifungal activity, possibly due to the presence of the methoxyl substituent in the meta position in ring B.

Effects of Coumarinyl Schiff Bases against Phytopathogenic Fungi, the Soil-Beneficial Bacteria and Entomopathogenic Nematodes: Deeper Insight into the Mechanism of Action. Molecules 2022; 27:molecules27072196.

Abstract
Coumarin derivatives have been reported as strong antifungal agents against various phytopathogenic fungi. In this study, inhibitory effects of nine coumarinyl Schiff bases were evaluated against the plant pathogenic fungi (Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. lycopersici, Fusarium culmorum, Macrophomina phaseolina and Sclerotinia sclerotiourum). The compounds were demonstrated to be efficient antifungal agents against Macrophomina phaseolina. The results of molecular docking on the six enzymes related to the antifungal activity suggested that the tested compounds act against plant pathogenic fungi, inhibiting plant cell-wall-degrading enzymes such as endoglucanase I and pectinase. Neither compound exhibited inhibitory effects against two beneficial bacteria (Bacillus mycoides and Bradyrhizobium japonicum) and two entomopathogenic nematodes. However, compound 9 was lethal (46.25%) for nematode Heterorhabditis bacteriophora and showed an inhibitory effect against acetylcholinesterase (AChE) (31.45%), confirming the relationship between these two activities. Calculated toxicity and the pesticide-likeness study showed that compound 9 was the least lipophilic compound with the highest aquatic toxicity. A molecular docking study showed that compounds 9 and 8 bind directly to the active site of AChE. Coumarinyl Schiff bases are promising active components of plant protection products, safe for the environment, human health, and nontarget organisms.

Abstract
The increasing resistance of plant diseases caused by phytopathogenic fungi highlights the need for highly effective and environmentally benign agents. The antifungal activities of Cnidium monnieri fruit extracts and five isolated compounds as well as structurally related coumarins against five plant pathogenic fungi were evaluated. The acetone extract, which contained the highest amount of five coumarins, showed strongest antifungal activity. Among the coumarin compounds, we found that 4-methoxycoumarin exhibited stronger and broader antifungal activity against five phytopathogenic fungi, and was more potent than osthol. Especially, it could significantly inhibit the growth of Rhizoctonia solani mycelium with an EC50 value of 21 μg mL-1 . Further studies showed that 4-methoxycoumarin affected the structure and function of peroxisomes, inhibited the β-oxidation of fatty acids, decreased the production of ATP and acetyl coenzyme A, and then accumulated ROS by damaging MMP and the mitochondrial function to cause the cell death of R. solani mycelia. 4-Methoxycoumarin presented antifungal efficacy in a concentration- dependent manner in vivo and could be used to prevent the potato black scurf. This study laid the foundation for the future development of 4-methoxycournamin as an alternative and friendly biofungicide.

Abstract
With the progressive and ever-increasing antibacterial resistance pathway, the need for novel antibiotic design becomes critical. Sulfonamides are one of the more effective antibiotics against bacteria. In this work, several novel sulfonamide hybrids including coumarin and isoxazole group were synthesized in five steps starting from coumarin-3-carboxylic acid and 3-amino-5-methyl isoxazole and assayed for antibacterial activity. The samples were obtained in good to high yield and characterized by FT-IR, 13C-NMR, 1H-NMR, CHN and melting point techniques. 3D-QSAR is a fast, easy, cost-effective, and high throughput screening method to predict the effect of the compound's efficacy, which notably decreases the needed price for experimental drug assay. The 3D-QSAR model displayed acceptable predictive and descriptive capability to find r2 and q2 the pMIC of the designed compound. Key descriptors, which robustly depend on antibacterial activity, perhaps were explained by this method. According to this model, among the synthesized sulfonamide hybrids, 9b and 9f had the highest effect on the gram-negative and gram-positive bacteria based on the pMIC. The 3D-QSAR results were confirmed in the experimental assays, demonstrating that our model is useful for developing new antibacterial agents. The work proposes a computationally-driven strategy for designing and discovering new sulfonamide scaffold for bacterial inhibition.

Biological Activities Related to Plant Protection and Environmental Effects of Coumarin Derivatives: QSAR and Molecular Docking Studies. Int J Mol Sci 2021; 22:ijms22147283. [PMID: 34298898 PMCID: PMC8303553 DOI: 10.3390/ijms22147283] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/01/2021] [Revised: 07/01/2021] [Accepted: 07/02/2021] [Indexed: 01/31/2023] Open
Abstract
The aim was to study the inhibitory effects of coumarin derivatives on the plant pathogenic fungi, as well as beneficial bacteria and nematodes. The antifungal assay was performed on four cultures of phytopathogenic fungi by measuring the radial growth of the fungal colonies. Antibacterial activity was determined by the broth microdilution method performed on two beneficial soil organisms. Nematicidal activity was tested on two entomopathogenic nematodes. The quantitative structure-activity relationship (QSAR) model was generated by genetic algorithm, and toxicity was estimated by T.E.S.T. software. The mode of inhibition of enzymes related to the antifungal activity is elucidated by molecular docking. Coumarin derivatives were most effective against Macrophomina phaseolina and Sclerotinia sclerotiorum, but were not harmful against beneficial nematodes and bacteria. A predictive QSAR model was obtained for the activity against M. phaseolina (R2tr = 0.78; R2ext = 0.67; Q2loo = 0.67). A QSAR study showed that multiple electron-withdrawal groups, especially at position C-3, enhanced activities against M. phaseolina, while the hydrophobic benzoyl group at the pyrone ring, and –Br, –OH, –OCH3, at the benzene ring, may increase inhibition of S. sclerotiourum. Tested compounds possibly act inhibitory against plant wall-degrading enzymes, proteinase K. Coumarin derivatives are the potentially active ingredient of environmentally friendly plant-protection products.

Abstract
The new 4-amino-2-(p-tolyl)-7H-chromeno[5,6-d]oxazol-7-one was successfully prepared through the Au/TiO2-catalyzed NaBH4 activation and chemoselective reduction of the new 4-nitro-2-(p-tolyl)-7H-chromeno[5,6-d]oxazol-7-one. The latter was synthesized by the one-pot tandem reactions of 6-hydroxy-5,7-dinitrocoumarin with p-tolylmethanol under Au/TiO2 catalysis. The dinitrocoumarin was obtained by the nitration of 6-hydroxycoumarin with cerium ammonium nitrate (CAN). The structure of the synthesized compounds was confirmed by FT-IR, HR-MS, 1H-NMR and 13C-NMR analysis. Preliminary biological tests show low anti-lipid peroxidation activity for the title compound.

Abstract
By the condensation of thiosemicarbazide with coumarin aldehyde, two novel substituted thiosemicarbazones with chemical formulae C24H25N3O3S (3a) and C26H23N3O3S (3b) have been synthesized. The synthesized compounds were resolved using SC-XRD, and structure elucidation was carried out using 1H NMR, 13C NMR, UV-visible, and FT-IR spectroscopic analyses. Computational calculations at the B3LYP/6-311+G(d,p) level of theory were performed to countercheck the experimental (UV-vis, FT-IR) findings and explore the electronic (FMO, NBO, MEP) properties of 3a-b. The nonlinear optical (NLO) properties of 3a-b were estimated using B3LYP, HF, LC-BLYP, CAM-B3LYP, M062X, and M06 functionals in combination with the 6-311+G(d,p) basis set. The crystallographic data revealed that compounds were crystallized as an orthorhombic crystal lattice with the Pbcn space group and the triclinic crystal lattice with the P̅1 space group. A good concurrence among experimental SC-XRD-generated bond lengths, bond angles, FT-IR, UV-vis, and corresponding DFT results was found, which confirms the purity of both compounds. The NBO analysis confirmed the presence of intramolecular hydrogen bonding and hyperconjugative interactions, which not only were the pivotal cause of stability of the investigated compounds but also led to an overwhelming NLO response. The energy differences calculated for HOMO/LUMO are 3.053 and 3.118 eV in 3a and 3b, respectively. The crystal 3b showed a higher value of first-order polarizability at all levels of theory than 3a. Overall results show that the crystals under investigation are polarized in nature with a good dipole moment. A comparative analysis with urea molecules clearly indicates that the studied compounds are acceptable NLO candidates and they can be used for future technological applications.

Inhibition of intracellular Ca 2+ mobilization and potassium channels activation are involved in the vasorelaxation induced by 7-hydroxycoumarin. Eur J Pharmacol 2020; 887:173525.

Abstract
Coumarins exhibit a wide variety of biological effects, including activities in the cardiovascular system and the aim of this study was to evaluate the vascular therapeutic potential of 7-Hydroxicoumarin (7-HC). The vascular effects induced by 7-HC (0.001 μM-300 μM), were investigated by in vitro approaches using isometric tension measurements in rat superior mesenteric arteries and by in silico assays using Ligand-based analysis. Our results suggest that the vasorelaxant effect of 7-HC seems to rely on potassium channels, notably through large conductance Ca2+-activated K+ (BKCa) channels activation. In fact, 7-HC (300 μM) significantly reduced CaCl2-induced contraction as well as the reduction of intracellular calcium mobilization. However, the relaxation induced by 7-HC was independent of store-operated calcium entry (SOCE). Moreover, in silico analysis suggests that potassium channels have a common binding pocket, where 7-HC may bind and hint that its binding profile is more similar to quinine's than verapamil's. These results are compatible with the inhibition of Ca2+ release from intracellular stores, which is prompted by phenylephrine and caffeine. Taken together, these results demonstrate a therapeutic potential of 7-HC on the cardiovascular system, making it a promising lead compound for the development of drugs useful in the treatment of cardiovascular diseases.

Abstract
ABTRACTThis study aims to design and synthesize a series of N-Acyl-N-(m-fluoro- benzyl)-6- amino-coumarins through the principle of active substructure stitching, which are based on the core structure of N-(m-fluoro-benzyl)-6-amino-coumarin. The structures of target compounds e1-e25 have been characterized by 1H NMR, 13C NMR, ESI-MS and elemental analysis. Meanwhile, their agricultural activity have been evaluated in two weeds (Amaranth and Crabgrass) and four widespread noxious pathogens (V.mali, B.cinerea, F.axysporium and C.bacteria). The herbicidal activity results showed that almost all synthetic molecules have a greater impact on the stem system than on the root. Excellent inhibition rates were discovered from compounds e2-e5 and e20-e23 against Amaranth on stems, which were above 58%(20 mg/L), 68%(100 mg/L) respectively. Compounds e2 and e21 also exhibited striking inhibition on stems growth of both weeds. Anti-pathogenic activity showed that all the compounds exerted a better inhibitory activity on B.cinerea at 20 ppm compared to control carbendazim. All the heterocyclic substituted compounds (e17-e24, >57%) made a better influence than the control (54.1%) at the100 ppm. This research provides promising herbicidal and anti-pathogenic agents that have the better effects and can be potential for further development.

Abstract
Cancer is one of the most urgent problems in medicine. In recent years, cancer is the second leading cause of death globally. In search for more effective and less toxic treatment against cancer, natural products are used as prototypes in the synthesis of new anticancer drugs. The aim of this study was to investigate the in vivo toxicity and the mechanism of antitumor action of 7-isopentenyloxycoumarin (UMB-07), a coumarin derivative with antitumor activity. The toxicity was evaluated in vitro (hemolysis assay), and in vivo (micronucleus and acute toxicity assays). Ehrlich ascites carcinoma model was used to evaluate in vivo antitumor activity of UMB-07 (12.5, 25, or 50 mg/kg, intraperitoneally, i.p.), after 9 days of treatment, as well as toxicity. UMB-07 (2000 μg/mL) induced only 0.8% of hemolysis in peripheral blood erythrocytes of mice. On acute toxicity assay, LD50 (50% lethal dose) was estimated at around 1000 mg/kg (i.p.), and no micronucleated erythrocytes were recorded after UMB-07 (300 mg/kg, i.p.) treatment. UMB-07 (25 and 50 mg/kg) reduced tumor volume and total viable cancer cells. In the mechanism action investigation, no changes were observed on the cell cycle analysis; however, UMB-07 reduced peritumoral microvessels density and CCL2 chemokine levels. In addition, UMB-07 showed weak toxicity on biochemical, hematological, and histological parameters after 9 days of antitumor treatment. The current findings suggest that UMB-07 has low toxicity and exerts antitumor effect by inhibit angiogenesis via CCL2 chemokine decrease.

Abstract
Allelopathy is the biological phenomenon of chemical interactions between living organisms in the ecosystem, and must be taken into account in addressing pest and weed problems in future sustainable agriculture. Allelopathy is a multidisciplinary science, but in some cases, aspects of its chemistry are overlooked, despite the need for a deep knowledge of the chemical structural characteristics of allelochemicals to facilitate the design of new herbicides. This review is focused on the most important advances in allelopathy, paying particular attention to the design and development of phenolic compounds, terpenoids and alkaloids as herbicides. The isolation of allelochemicals is mainly addressed, but other aspects such as the analysis and activities of derivatives or analogs are also covered. Furthermore, the use of allelopathy in the fight against parasitic plants is included. The past 12 years have been a prolific period for publications on allelopathy. This critical review discusses future research areas in this field and the state of the art is analyzed from the chemist's perspective. © 2019 Society of Chemical Industry.

Abstract
The present work analyses the chromatographic profile of the peels from fruits of different citrus cultivated in Colombia: sweet orange (Citrus sinensis [L.] Osbeck var. Valencia), mandarins (Citrus reticulata L. var. Arrayana and Oneco), Key lime (Citrus aurantifolia [Christ.] Swingle var. Pajarito), Mandarine lime (Citrus x limonia, a hybrid between Citrus reticulata and Citrus x limon) and Tahitian lime (C. latifolia Tanaka, syn. Persian lime). Coumarins, furanocoumarins and polymethoxylated flavones are the major compounds. Then, six coumarins were isolated and identified from fruits of Tahitian and Key lime corresponding to 5-geranyloxy-7-methoxycoumarin; 5,7-dimethoxycoumarin (syn. limettin); 5,8-dimethoxypsoralen (syn. isopimpinellin); 5-methoxypsoralen (syn. bergaptene); 5-geranoxypsoralen (syn. bergamottin) and 5-(2,3-dihydroxy-3-methylbutoxy) psoralen (syn. oxypeucedanin hydrate). Coumarins and furanocoumarins were quantified by liquid chromatography (HPLC-DAD). Results show that the prenylated compounds were present in high concentrations in Tahitian and Key lime but in very low amounts in mandarins and sweet orange. Subsequently, the antifungal activity (inhibition of mycelial growth and germination of spores) of the coumarins against the fungus causing the anthracnose, Colletotrichum sp. (isolated from aerial parts of Tahitian lime) was determined. The compounds limettin and bergaptene, as well as mixtures of them, showed significant inhibitory effect (radial growth and spore germination) when compared to the control. Finally, the effect of some recognized elicitors to induce the coumarin production in fruits of C. latifolia was evaluated. The results showed that the chemical profiles are dependent on the applied elicitor and the post-induction time. As a result of the induction, a high concentration of some coumarins and furanocoumarins was maintained in the course of time for the Tahitian lime. In conclusion, isolated coumarins could be involved in the defense mechanisms of C. latifolia, C. aurantifolia and C. limonia and their accumulation may be modulated by the application of elicitors.

Abstract
Cancer is the main cause of death, so the search for active agents to be used in the therapy of this
disease, is necessary. According to studies conducted, substances derived from natural products have shown to
be promising in this endeavor. To these researches, one can associate with the aid of computational chemistry,
which is increasingly gaining popularity, due to the possibility of developing alternative strategies that could
help in choosing an appropriate set of compounds, avoiding unnecessary expenses with resources that would
generate unwanted substance. Thus, the objective of this study was to carry out an approach to several studies
that apply different methods of virtual screening to select natural products with potential anticancer activity.
This review presents reports of studies conducted with some natural products, such as coumarin, quinone, tannins,
alkaloids, flavonoids and terpenes.

Abstract
In our research, a series of 8-substituted coumarin derivatives were synthesized, and their structures were confirmed by FT-IR, 1H-NMR, and MS (or HRMS). In activity screening, the synthesized compounds exhibited potent antifungal activity against 4 phytopathogenic fungi: Botrytis cinerea, Colletotrichum gloeosporioides, Fusarium oxysporum, and Valsa mali. Notably, 8-chloro coumarin and ethyl 8-chloro-coumarin-3-carboxylate showed the strongest fungus inhibition with EC50 of 0.085 and 0.078 mmol/L against V. mali. Furthermore, 3D-QSAR models (CoMFA and CoMSIA) of the title compounds against V. mali were established on the basis of their antifungal activities. The results indicated that the appropriate small, hydrophilic and electron-withdrawing groups on coumarin's C-3 and C-8, respectively, could enhance the antifungal activity. The information obtained will be very helpful for designing new derivatives with high antifungal activities.

Abstract
Fungal infections have become a concern for health professionals, and the emergence of resistant strains has been reported for all known classes of antifungal drugs. Among the fungi causing disease, we highlight those that belong to the genus Aspergillus. For these reasons, the search for new antifungals is important. This study examines the effects of a coumarin derivative, 4-acetatecoumarin (Cou-UMB16) both alone and together with antifungal drugs, and its mode of action against Aspergillus spp. Cou-UMB16 was tested to evaluate its effects on mycelia growth, and germination of Aspergillus spp. fungal conidia. We investigated its possible action on cell walls, on the cell membrane, and also the capacity of this coumarin derivative to enhance the activity of antifungal drugs. Our results suggest that Cou-UMB16 inhibits Aspergillus spp. virulence factors (mycelia growth and germination of conidia) and affects the structure of the fungal cell wall. When applying Cou-UMB16 in combination with azoles, both synergistic and additive effects were observed. This study concludes that Cou-UMB16 inhibits mycelial growth and spore germination, and that the activity is due to its action on the fungal cell wall, and that Cou-UMB16 could act as an antifungal modifier.

4-Hydroxy-7-methyl-3-phenylcoumarin Suppresses Aflatoxin Biosynthesis via Downregulation of aflK Expressing Versicolorin B Synthase in Aspergillus flavus. Molecules 2017; 22:molecules22050712.

Abstract
Naturally occurring coumarins possess antibacterial and antifungal properties. In this study, these natural and synthetic coumarins were used to evaluate their antifungal activities against Aspergillus flavus, which produces aflatoxins. In addition to control antifungal activities, antiaflatoxigenic properties were also determined using a high-performance liquid chromatography in conjunction with fluorescence detection. In this study, 38 compounds tested and 4-hydroxy-7-methyl-3-phenyl coumarin showed potent antifungal and antiaflatoxigenic activities against A. flavus. Inhibitory mode of antiaflatoxigenic action by 4-hydroxy-7-methyl-3-phenyl coumarin was based on the downregulation of aflD, aflK, aflQ, and aflR in aflatoxin biosynthesis. In the cases of coumarins, antifungal and aflatoxigenic activities are highly related to the lack of diene moieties in the structures. In structurally related compounds, 2,3-dihydrobenzofuran exhibited antifungal and antiaflatoxigenic activities against A. flavus. The inhibitory mode of antiaflatoxigenic action by 2,3-dihydrobenzofuran was based on the inhibition of the transcription factor (aflS) in the aflatoxin biosynthesis pathway. These potent inhibitions of 2,3-dihydrobenzofuran and 4-hydroxy-7-methyl-3-phenyl coumarin on the Aspergillus growth and production of aflatoxins contribute to the development of new controlling agents to mitigate aflatoxin contamination.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Osthol is a natural coumarin and lead compound that has been developed into commercial fungicides in China. Natural coumarins comprise five major subtypes: simple coumarins, linear furanocoumarins, angular furanocoumarins, linear pyranocoumarins and angular pyranocoumarins. Studies pertaining to the antifungal activities of linear pyranocoumarins are few, and no reports exist for the antifungal activities of angular pyranocoumarins. In order to discover more antifungal natural coumarins, we synthesised a series of simple natural coumarins and isolated several plant-based furanocoumarins and pyranocoumarins using previously described methods. The compounds were biologically evaluated against some plant fungal pathogens. RESULTS Several of the 35 coumarins evaluated here exhibited strong activities against specific fungal species, including compound 25 (Pd-D-V, a linear pyranocoumarin), compound 26 (libanorin, an angular furanocoumarin) and compound 34 (disenecioyl khellactone, an angular pyranocoumarin). Compound 25 exhibited a high activity against Sclerotinia sclerotiorum (EC50 = 13.2 µg mL-1 ); compound 34 displayed a strong antifungal activity against Botrytis cinerea (EC50 = 11.0 µg mL-1 ). CONCLUSION This study demonstrates that several natural coumarins (one linear pyranocoumarin and one angular pyranocoumarin in particular) exhibit strong antifungal activities. These results call for further studies, where these coumarins can be examined as potential lead compounds for developing novel antifungal agents. © 2016 Society of Chemical Industry.

Modulation of Drug Resistance in Staphylococcus aureus with Coumarin Derivatives. SCIENTIFICA 2016; 2016:6894758.

Abstract
Semisynthetic and commercial coumarins were investigated for their antibacterial and adjuvant properties with antibiotic agents against norfloxacin, erythromycin, and tetracycline resistant Staphylococcus aureus as based on efflux mechanisms. The coumarins and certain commercial antibiotics had their Minimum Inhibitory Concentrations determined by broth microdilution assay against resistant S. aureus strains which overexpress efflux pump proteins. For evaluation of the modulatory activity, the antibiotics MICs were determined in the presence of the coumarin derivatives at subinhibitory concentration. Although the coumarins did not display relevant antibacterial activity (MIC ≥ 128 µg/mL), they did modulate the antibiotics activities. Various coumarins, especially the alkylated derivatives in combination with antibiotics at subinhibitory concentrations, modulated antibiotic activity, reducing the MIC for tetracycline and norfloxacin by 2 to 8 times. Polar Surface Area (PSA) studies were performed and the fact that the presence of apolar groups is an important factor for the modulatory activity of coumarins was corroborated. Docking on the Penicillin-Binding Protein from MRSA identified that 18 is a potential ligand presenting low E binding. The results indicate that coumarin derivatives modulated antibiotic resistance and may be used as potential antibiotic adjuvants, acting by bacterial efflux pump inhibition in S. aureus.

Abstract
Coumarins are naturally occurring oxygen heterocyclic compounds having multifarious medicinal properties, hence used as lead compounds for designing new potent analogs. The chromene butenoic acid 3 and the benzochromene butenoic acid 4 which are derived from the reaction of glyoxalic acid with 3-acetylcoumarin and 3-acetylbenzocoumarin, respectively, were reacted with different nitrogen and carbon nucleophiles to give new heterocyclic compounds. The structures of the prepared compounds were elucidated by IR, ¹H-NMR, and mass spectroscopy. Some of the newly prepared compounds were tested in vitro against a panel of four human tumor cell lines namely; hepatocellular carcinoma (liver) HepG2, colon cancer HCT-116, human prostate cancer PC3, and mammary gland breast MCF-7. Also they were tested as antioxidants. Almost all of the tested compounds showed satisfactory activity.

Abstract
The research of innovative antimicrobial agents represents a cutting edge topic. Hence, we synthesized and characterised novel salicylanilide N-monosubstituted carbamates. Twenty compounds were evaluated in vitro against eight bacterial strains and eight fungal species. The lowest minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) were found to be ⩽0.49 μM. Genus Staphylococcus, including methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, and fungus Trichophyton mentagrophytes showed uniformly the highest rate of susceptibility, whilst Gram-negative bacteria and most of the fungi were less susceptible. A wide range of carbamates provided comparable or superior in vitro antimicrobial activity in comparison to established drugs. Interestingly, extended-spectrum β-lactamase producing strain of Klebsiella pneumoniae was inhibited with MICs starting from 31.25 μM. With respect to Staphylococci, 2-[(4-bromophenyl)carbamoyl]-4-chlorophenyl phenylcarbamate exhibited the lowest MIC values (⩽0.98 μM). 2-[(4-Bromophenyl)carbamoyl]-4-chlorophenyl benzylcarbamate showed the widest spectrum of antifungal action. The results indicate that some salicylanilide carbamates can be considered to be promising candidates for future investigation.

Abstract
In the search for new environmental-friendly antifoulants for replace metallic biocides, 7-hydroxy-4-methylcoumarin was synthesized according to green chemistry procedures. This compound was characterized by current organic analysis and its antifouling properties were firstly evaluated on the bivalve Mytilus edulis platensis in the laboratory. In the second stage, a soluble matrix antifouling coating formulated with this compound was assayed in marine environment. Laboratory experiments showed that 7-hydroxy-4-methylcoumarin was effective in inhibiting both the settlement as well as the byssogenesis of mussels. In addition, after exposure time in the sea, painted panels containing this compound showed strong antifouling effect on conspicuous species of the fouling community of Mar el Plata harbor. In conclusion, green-synthesized coumarin could be a suitable antifoulant candidate for marine protective coatings.

Abstract
The structure-activity relationships of four hydroxycoumarins, two with the hydroxyl group on the aromatic ring of the molecule and two with the hydroxyl group replacing hydrogen of the pyrone ring, and their interactions with mushroom tyrosinase were studied. These compounds displayed different behaviors upon action of the enzyme. The two compounds, ar-hydroxylated 6-hydroxycoumarin and 7-hydroxycoumarin, were both weak substrates of the enzyme. Interestingly, in both cases, the product of the catalysis was the 6,7-hydroxycoumarin, although 5,6- and 7,8-isomers could also theoretically be formed. Additionally, both were able to reduce the formation of dopachrome when tyrosinase acted on its typical substrate, L-tyrosine. Although none of the compounds that contained a hydroxyl group on the pyrone ring were substrates of tyrosinase, the 3-hydroxycoumarin was a potent inhibitor of the enzyme, and the 4-hydroxycoumarin was not an inhibitor. These results were compared with those obtained by in silico molecular docking predictions to obtain potentially useful information for the synthesis of new coumarin-based inhibitors that resemble the structure of the 3-hydroxycoumarin.

Evaluation of Antifungal Activity and Mode of Action of New Coumarin Derivative, 7-Hydroxy-6-nitro-2H-1-benzopyran-2-one, against Aspergillus spp. EVIDENCE-BASED COMPLEMENTARY AND ALTERNATIVE MEDICINE 2015; 2015:925096. [PMID: 26175794 PMCID: PMC4484559 DOI: 10.1155/2015/925096] [Citation(s) in RCA: 19] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.1] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/02/2015] [Revised: 05/26/2015] [Accepted: 05/28/2015] [Indexed: 01/15/2023]
Abstract
Aspergillus spp. produce a wide variety of diseases. For the treatment of such infections, the azoles and Amphotericin B are used in various formulations. The treatment of fungal diseases is often ineffective, because of increases in azole resistance and their several associated adverse effects. To overcome these problems, natural products and their derivatives are interesting alternatives. The aim of this study was to examine the effects of coumarin derivative, 7-hydroxy-6-nitro-2H-1-benzopyran-2-one (Cou-NO2), both alone and with antifungal drugs. Its mode of action against Aspergillus spp. Cou-NO2 was tested to evaluate its effects on mycelia growth and germination of fungal conidia of Aspergillus spp. We also investigated possible Cou-NO2 action on cell walls (0.8 M sorbitol) and on Cou-NO2 to ergosterol binding in the cell membrane. The study shows that Cou-NO2 is capable of inhibiting both the mycelia growth and germination of conidia for the species tested, and that its action affects the structure of the fungal cell wall. At subinhibitory concentration, Cou-NO2 enhanced the in vitro effects of azoles. Moreover, in combination with azoles (voriconazole and itraconazole) Cou-NO2 displays an additive effect. Thus, our study supports the use of coumarin derivative 7-hydroxy-6-nitro-2H-1-benzopyran-2-one as an antifungal agent against Aspergillus species.
