Synthesis, antielastase, antioxidant and radical scavenging activities of 4-(aza substituted) methylene substituted dihydroxy coumarines

J Enzyme Inhib Med Chem. 2013 Aug;28(4):870-5. doi: 10.3109/14756366.2012.692086. Epub 2012 Jul 18.

Abstract

A series of some 4-(aza substituted) methylene substituted dihydroxy coumarines were evaluated for their antioxidant and antielastase activities. Different in vitro methodologies such as total reducing power, 1,1-diphenyl-2-picryl-hydrazil (DPPH·) free radical scavenging, ABTS radical scavenging activity were used as antioxidant activity. All the tested compounds exhibited potent free radical scavenging ability and antielastase activites.
