About

Coumarin is considered a versatile and privileged scaffold in medicinal chemistry. In recent decades, a large number of natural products containing the coumarin scaffold have been isolated and identified from natural resources. The literature shows that coumarin derivatives display a wide spectrum of biological activities such as antibacterial, antioxidant, anticoagulant, anti-inflammatory and neuroprotective properties.

CoumarinDB collects chemical information about naturally occurring coumarins, to cope with the growing amount of available data and to speed up drug discovery from natural products.
