This research work involved synthesis of nine Coumarin-hydrazone derivatives and study of their enzyme inhibition activity. The purpose of the study was to investigate the α-amylase and lipase inhibition activity of the synthesized coumarin derivatives. The experiment was performed by taking 5, 10, 50,100 μg/mL of each of the compounds and Acarbose and Orlistat was taken as a positive control. The studies showed that compound 5d (120.6 μM), 5e (111.5 μM) and 5h (124.0 μM) was showing better inhibition activity against α-amylase enzyme, in comparison with the standard (IC50=81.70 μM). The lipase enzyme inhibition revealed that the compounds, 5c (142.3 μM), 5d (82.3 μM) and 5i (93.6 μM) showed better inhibition compared to the standard (IC50=236.4±2.83 μM). The enzyme kinetics study also revealed good results and it has been discussed in the results section.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
