: Coumarins, a heterocyclic benzo-α-pyrones and naturally occurring ring structure that possess significant pharmacological properties, has attracted the attention of researchers and medicinal chemists to reveal the suitability of both natural and synthetic coumarins as drugs. Many compounds have been synthesized utilizing the basic coumarin structure. The diverse synthetic methods resulted in synthesis of important coumarin derivatives that offers wide range of biological properties as antimicrobial, anticancer, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, antidiabetic and antidepressant that makes them potential drug candidate. With particular interest in ulcer coumarins have shown potential inhibition against urease enzyme. In recent years scientists have emphasized anti-urease activity of coumarins due to their low toxicity. The aim of this review is to compile data from recent research about anti-urease activities of coumarins and structure activity relationship studies of coumarin ring structure. Investigation of different structural substitution in coumarin ring may help researchers to design new compounds with strong and effective anti-urease abilities.
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.
