Fragmentation pathways of protonated coumarin by ESI‐QE‐Orbitrap‐MS/MS coupled with DFT calculations

Coumarin is one of the basic structures of naturally oxygen heterocyclic compound, which was investigated in this paper for its gas‐phase fragmentation behaviors using electrospray quadrupole extractive orbitrap mass spectrometry in the positive mode. The possible fragmentation pathways were proposed based on electrospray ionization (ESI)‐ mass spectrometry (MS)/MS data and theory calculation. The elimination of two CO and CO₂ was observed for protonated coumarin, which was followed by the formation of a stabilized seven‐, six‐, and five‐membered ring carbocation by loss of C2H2. The possible protonation sites occurred at Oxygen 11 atom of coumarin were the main fragmentation pathways. The relative abundance of characteristic fragment ions and the energy‐resolved breakdown curves were used to confirm the cleavage mechanism of protonated coumarin. The methodology and results of present work would contribute to the chemical structure identification of other coumarins.     

Creation of 3,4-bis-triazolocoumarin-sugar conjugates via flourogenic dual click chemistry and their quenching specificity with silver(I) in aqueous media

Fluorogenic click chemistry has recently emerged as an ingenious and powerful tool toward numerous biochemical purposes. We describe herein the use of dual click chemistry toward the fluorescence restoration of a fluorogenic coumarin on epimeric dipropargyl sugar scaffolds and their practical utility in selective metal ion detection. The dual click reactions were smoothly proceeded under microwave irradiation between silylated 3,4-di-O-propynyl gluco- or galactoside and 3-azidocoumarin, forming fluorescently reactivated bis-triazolocoumarins on sugar templates. Subsequent desilylation resulted in the OH-glycosides with desired water solubility. The following photochemical study disclosed that their fluorescence could be uniquely quenched by silver(I) in aqueous media with very minor responses to the addition of other metal ions. This research would presumably prompt the efficient creation of water soluble and potentially low toxic chemosensors via the fluorogenic dual click chemistry in using the universally existent sugars as the central scaffold.     

Photoinduced Electron Transfer‐Regulated Protein Labeling With a Coumarin‐Based Multifunctional Photocrosslinker

We developed a novel diazirine‐based photolabeling agent having a (coumarin‐4‐yl)methyl ester scaffold, which exhibited multiple photochemical properties of crosslinking, fluorogenicity and cleavage. These properties can be kinetically regulated via photoinduced electron transfer between diazirine and coumarin moieties. The C?O bond of (coumarin‐4‐yl)methyl ester can be cleaved via photochemical excitation of coumarin moiety, that function has been initially quenched by the diazirine moiety. Upon diazirine photolysis with 365‐nm light, interacting protein was stably captured with photoactivatable ligand probe. Then, the unlocked cleavage function was activated with 313 nm light, and the reaction was accelerated in a weakly‐basic solution. The crosslinked protein could be selectively isolated with attachment of a small coumarin tag on the surface. This multi‐functional labeling agent has a great potential to facilitate LC‐MS/MS‐based protein identification.     

Facile One-Pot Synthesis of Aryl,Heteryl Substituted Hydrazono Thiazolyl-Pyrazolone Derivatives via Three-Component Reaction

A facile, one-pot, three-component bis heterocyclized reaction for the synthesis of hydrazonothiazolyl-pyrazolones has been described. Reaction of phenacyl bromides or 3-(2-bromoacetyl)coumarins, with thiosemicarbazide and ethyl 2-(2-arylhydrazono)-3-oxobutanoates in AcOH/NaOAc, gave the corresponding products in good yields. All the synthesized compounds were characterized by their analytical and spectral data.

Lanthanide(III) Complexes of Cyclen Triacetates and Triamides Bearing Tertiary Amide-Linked Antennae

The coordination compounds of the trivalent lanthanide ions (Ln(III)) have unique photophysical properties. Ln(III) excitation is usually performed through a light-harvesting antenna. To enable Ln(III)-based emitters to reach their full potential, an understanding of how complex structure affects sensitization and quenching processes is necessary. Here, the role of the linker between the antenna and the metal binding fragment was studied. Four macrocyclic ligands carrying coumarin 2 or 4-methoxymethylcarbostyril sensitizing antennae linked to an octadentate macrocyclic ligand binding site were synthesized. Complexation with Ln(III) (Ln = La, Sm, Eu, Gd, Tb, Yb and Lu) yielded species with overall −1, 0, or +2 and +3-charge. Paramagnetic ¹H NMR spectroscopy indicated subtle differences between the coumarin- and carbostyril-carrying Eu(III) and Yb(III) complexes. Cyclic voltammetry showed that the effect of the linker on the Eu(III)/Eu(II) apparent reduction potential was dependent on the electronic properties of the N-substituent. The Eu(III), Tb(III) and Sm(III) complexes were all luminescent. Coumarin-sensitized complexes were poorly emissive; photoinduced electron transfer was not a major quenching pathway in these species. These results show that seemingly similar emitters can undergo very different photophysical processes, and highlight the crucial role the linker can play.     

Synthesis,spectral, structural characterization and biological activity of new palladium(II) complexes containing 3‐acetyl‐8‐methoxy‐2H‐chromen‐2‐one derived Schiff bases

Four different mononuclear palladium(II) complexes of 3‐acetyl‐8‐methoxycoumarin Schiff bases were synthesized and characterized by spectrochemical techniques. Further analysis through X‐ray crystallography confirmed the structures of the complexes. Their interactive ability with Calf Thymus DNA and protein (Bovine Serum Albumin and Human Serum Albumin) were investigated by means of absorption and emission methods. The intercalative mode of binding with DNA was supported by EB displacement studies and viscosity measurements. Configurational changes that occurred in the proteins have been analysed with the help of 3D fluorescence studies. The complexes were shown to have good antimicrobial activity against the tested bacterial and fungal pathogens. In addition, antiproliferative activity of the complexes was evaluated on A549 and MCF‐7 cell lines and the complexes were comparatively more active than the standard drug cisplatin. Among the compounds, complex 3 was the most effective against MCF‐7 (IC₅₀ value of 5.20 ± 0.15 μM) and A549 (5.09 ± 0.13 μM) compared with the other complexes 1 (6.48 ± 0.17 μM; 5.98 ± 0.09 μM), 2 (5.53 ± 0.12 μM; 5.85 ± 0.11 μM), 4 (6.73 ± 0.19 μM; 6.63 ± 0.16 μM) and cisplatin (16.79 ± 0.08 μM; 15.10 ± 0.05 μM) respectively. LDH and NO release assays confirmed the cytotoxic potential of the synthesized complexes.     

Anti-Inflammatory Effects of 6-Methylcoumarin in LPS-Stimulated RAW 264.7 Macrophages via Regulation of MAPK and NF-κB Signaling Pathways

Persistent inflammatory reactions promote mucosal damage and cause dysfunction, such as pain, swelling, seizures, and fever. Therefore, in this study, in order to explore the anti-inflammatory effect of 6-methylcoumarin (6-MC) and suggest its availability, macrophages were stimulated with lipopolysaccharide (LPS) to conduct an in vitro experiment. The effects of 6-MC on the production and levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines (interleukin (IL)-1β, IL-6, tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α) and inflammatory mediators (nitric oxide (NO), prostaglandin E₂ (PGE₂)) in LPS-stimulated RAW 264.7 cells were examined. The results showed that 6-MC reduced the levels of NO and PGE₂ without being cytotoxic. In addition, it was demonstrated that the increase in the expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines caused by LPS stimulation, was decreased in a concentration-dependent manner with 6-MC treatment. Moreover, Western blot results showed that the protein levels of inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) and cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2), which increased with LPS treatment, were decreased by 6-MC treatment. Mechanistic studies revealed that 6-MC reduced the phosphorylation of the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) family and IκBα in the MAPK and nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-κB) pathways, respectively. These results suggest that 6-MC is a potential therapeutic agent for inflammatory diseases that inhibits inflammation via the MAPK and NF-κB pathways.
