This systematic review focused on the synthesis of these derivatives and description of their biological potentials, especially those related to the antimicrobial, antioxidant, antitumor, antiviral, anti-Alzheimer, anti-inflammatory, and cardio-protective effects. The authors proposed that this review may guide the medicinal chemists to select the proper functional groups and their substitutional positions on hymecromone nucleus for the development of new therapeutic agents. INTRODUCTION Coumarins are a respectable family of oxygen-based antioxidant (8), anti-diabetic (9), anti-Alzheimer (10), heterocycles that have widely used in pharmaceutical (1) antitumor (11), antimicrobial (12), antiparasitic (13), and industrial intentions (2). The prototype of this family, anti-inflammatory (14), anticonvulsant (15), coumarin, has historically been isolated via Vogel from antipsychotic (16), analgesic F(1ig7u),raen1ticoagulant (18), and Tonka bean, from which the name of coumarin has driven antiviral (19) activities. (3). Although the coumarins are sharing a benzo-α- Hymecromone, as shown in , is one of the most pyrone skeleton, they differ in the presence of prepared and investigated coumarins. Products with substituents and their positions (4). This variation affords chemical structures based on hymecromone have widely a wide range of properties, some of them related to been synthesized (20), and their biological activities biological activities (5), and the others may be useful for attracted great attention (21). This motivated the work industry (6). Until now, there is a high number of isolated team to report the biological potentials of the natural and coumarins and those synthesized in the laboratory (7). synthetic coumarins with chemical structures based on Most of the investigated natural and synthetic coumarins hymecromone. have exhibited one or more medicinal potentials such as Figure 1: Chemical structure of hymecromone.
