Synthesis, Biological Evaluation, and In Silico Studies of Novel Coumarin-Based 4H,5H-pyrano[3,2-c]chromenes as Potent β-Glucuronidase and Carbonic Anhydrase Inhibitors.

ABSTRACT: The search for novel heterocyclic compounds with a natural product skeleton as potent enzyme inhibitors against clinical hits is our prime concern in this study. Here, a simple and facile two-step strategy has been designed to synthesize a series of novel coumarin-based dihydropyranochromenes (12a-12m) in a basic moiety. The synthesized compounds were thus characterized through spectroscopic techniques and screened for inhibition potency against the cytosolic hCA II isoform and β-glucuronidase. Few of these compounds were potent inhibitors of hCA II and β-glucuronidase with varying IC₅₀ values ranging from 4.55 ± 0.22 to 21.77 ± 3.32 μM and 440.1 ± 1.17 to 971.3 ± 0.05 μM, respectively. Among the stream of synthesized compounds, 12e and 12i were the m
