Molecular hybridization approach is an emerging tool in drug discovery for designing new pharmacophores with biological activity. A novel, new series of coumarin-benzimidazole hybrids were designed, synthesized and evaluated for their broad spectrum antimicrobial activity. Among all the synthesized molecules, compound (E)-3-(2-1H-benzo[d]imidazol-1-yl)-1-((4-chlorobenzyl)oxy)imino)ethyl)-2H-chromen-2-one showed the most promising broad spectrum antibacterial activity against Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Staphylococcus aureus, Bacillus subtilis and Proteus vulgaris. In addition, it has showed no cytotoxicity and hemolysis at 10 times the MIC concentration. SAR studies indicate that position of the chlorine atom in the hybrid critically determines the antibacterial activity.

An efficient and general protocol for a rapid synthesis of different substituted 3-aryl coumarins is reported. A series of different substituted phenyl acetic acids have been successfully reacted with different substituted 2-hydroxy benzaldehydes in the presence of cyanuric chloride (2,4,6-trichloro-1,3,5-triazine) and N-methyl morpholine to afford 3-aryl coumarins in good to excellent yields.

COMMUNICATION This journal is ABSTRACT: We demonstrate a facile one pot approach for the regioselective synthesis of chromeno[4,3-b]quinolin-6-one derivatives in excellent yields under microwave (MW) irradiation. This transformation presumably proceeds via a three-component tandem annulation of 4-hydroxycoumarin with aromatic aldehydes and aromatic amines, involving a Povarov type reaction.An emerging strategy in the design and synthesis of new drugs is the combination of two distinct pharmacophores into a single molecule, well documented as pharmacophore hybridization. 1,2 Since natural products have been the most consistent source of drug leads, they have become attractive pharmacophoric components in hybrid molecules. 3 The hybrid approach is a promising path to drug molecules that are able to modulate multiple targets. 4
