Recent Advances in Coumarin Derivatives and Their Metal Complexes
Topic Information
Dear Colleagues,
Coumarin derivatives, a class of compounds derived from natural sources, hold significant importance in modern science due to their diverse range of biological activities and potential applications. These derivatives exhibit various pharmacological properties, including anticoagulant, anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, and anticancer effects. Moreover, their structural versatility makes them valuable in drug design and development. Investigating coumarin derivatives offers a promising avenue for the discovery of new therapeutic agents with enhanced efficacy and reduced side effects. Their exploration contributes extensively to the advancement of medicinal chemistry, offering novel compounds that could potentially address unmet medical needs and improve human health. This topic welcomes original and review articles to be published in the selected MDPI journals concerning the synthesis and structural analysis of newly obtained and known coumarin derivatives and their transition metal complexes. Biological activities, such as cytotoxicity, antioxidant and protein/DNA binding affinities, should be included, if applicable. In addition, articles containing quantum-chemical analysis and molecular docking/dynamics simulations to support available spectral and reactivity features are highly encouraged. Notably, understanding the effects of substituents on structural characteristics, reactivity, and biological activity remains a key emphasis.
