The aim of this research is the synthesis and characterization of coumarin-palladium complex and the investigation of the cytotoxicity of both the ligand and the complex. The palladium( II) complex () was obtained in the reaction between ()-3-(1-((4-hydroxy-3-methoxyphenyl)amino)ethylidene)-2,4-dioxochroman-7-yl-acetate () and potassium-tetrachloropalladate(II) and characterized using IR and NMR spectra, experimentally and theoretically. Cytotoxicity of and were determined for human cervical carcinoma HeLa, ovarian cancer A2780, hormone dependent breast cancer MCF7, and colorectal cancer HCT116 lines.

Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is one of the deadliest diseases. Here are investigated two synthesized and two hypothetical coumarin derivatives, and their capacity to be used in the PDAC targeted treatment. The inhibitory activity of these four molecules against PARP, ATM, and CHK1 proteins responsible for DNA molecule repair was examined by docking and molecular dynamic analysis.

This study examined the antiradical activity of three synthesized coumarin derivatives: ()-3-(1-((2-hydroxyphenyl)amino)ethylidene)-2,4-dioxochroman-7-yl acetate (), ()-3-(1-((3-hydroxyphenyl)amino)ethylidene)-2,4-dioxochroman-7-yl acetate (), and ()-3-(1-((4-hydroxyphenyl)amino)ethylidene)-2,4-dioxochroman-7-yl acetate () against HOO•/O2•- radical species. The investigation included electron spin resonance (ESR) measurements and a DFT kinetic study. Thermodynamic and kinetic parameters of antiradical mechanisms-Formal Hydrogen Atom Transfer (-HAT), Radical Adduct Formation (RAF), Sequential Proton Loss followed by Electron Transfer (SPLET), and Single-Electron Transfer followed by Proton Transfer (SET-PT)-were evaluated using the Quantum Mechanics-based test for Overall Free Radical Scavenging Activity (QM-ORSA) under physiological conditions.

Nowadays, bacteria resistance to many antibiotics is a huge problem, especially in clinics and other parts of the healthcare system. This critical health issue requires a dynamic approach to produce new types of antibacterial coatings to combat various pathogen microbes. In this research, we prepared a new type of carbon quantum dots based on phloroglucinol using the bottom-up method.
