Coumarin derivatives combating antibacterial resistance: molecular modeling-driven insights and comprehensive SAR elucidation targeting DNA gyrase and topoisomerase IV.
Antimicrobial resistance continues to threaten the effectiveness of current antibacterial therapies, creating an urgent need for novel chemotypes that act through alternative mechanisms. Among these, coumarin derivatives have emerged as promising inhibitors of bacterial type II topoisomerases, particularly DNA gyrase a...
