“…A key bicyclic heterocyclic is coumarin (2H-1-benzopyran-2-one) that is a natural secondary metabolite (SM) extracted from fungus, plants, bacteria, chemical synthesis, as well as essential oils, has been examined as one of the prominent structures to develop novel agents with higher specificity and affinity to different molecular targets showing antioxidant, anticancer, antiviral, anti-inflammatory and antileishmania activities [19][20][21][22][23]. Therefore, diverse families of plants like Umbelliferae, Clusiaceae, and Rutaceae have been used to isolate coumarins [19].…”

“…1,2 Furthermore, coumarins and their derivatives are seen to be the pivotal components of a plethora of many natural products and pharmaceuticals 3 and synthetic dyes. [4][5][6][7][8][9] The pharmacological activities discovered amongst coumarin derivatives include the treatment categories of Alzheimer's 10 and haematopoietic necrosis (IHN); 11 they have shown potent anticoagulant, antibiotic, antiembolic, antioxidative, and anti-ischemic activities [12][13][14][15][16] (Fig. 1).…”

“…Coumarins are important naturally occurring plant constituents and display a wide range of pharmacological and biological activities, such as anticancer [ 1 ], antibacterial [ 2 ], and antifungal [ 3 ]. Moreover, coumarin derivatives have shown activity against neglected diseases as leishmaniasis [ 4 ], tuberculosis [ 5 6 ] and Chagas’ disease [ 7 ]. Examples of coumarin-derived drugs are: methoxsalen, used to treat psoriasis, eczema, vitiligo, and some cutaneous lymphomas; warfarin, an anticoagulant, used to treat blood clots such as deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism, and to prevent stroke; and tioclomarol, also an anticoagulant, that is a long-acting vitamin K antagonist ( Figure 1 ) [ 8 ].…”
