POSSIBLE REACTIONS ON COUMARIN MOLECULE

Many naturally occurring substances, traditionally used in the medicines contain the coumarin moiety. Coumarin is asimple scaffold widespread in nature and it is found in a number of plants as well as fungi and some bacteria. In the lastyears, it gains attention due to its ability to interact with diverse enzymes and receptors in living organisms. Coumarinbased compounds having potential not only in the medicinal chemistry but also in the cosmetic and also in fragrances. It ischemically a Benzopyran 2-one. It possess a wide range of pharmacological activities including anti-cancer, anticoagulant,antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, anti- oxidant, antidiabetic, antiparkinson’s activity and also found antihepatitis Cactivity. Its versatile range of activities makes it a versatile scaffold in a medicinal chemistry. Therefore, in this review weanalyzed a various research articles, reviews and the data found from them are collected. Here in this overview, wecollect various literature on the synthesis of possible reaction on coumarin molecule.
