Design, Synthesis, and Molecular Docking Studies of Coumarin-chalcone Conjugates as Selective TNF-α and Weak COX-2 Inhibitors with Efficacy as an Antioxidant.
INTRODUCTION Inflammation and oxidative stress play important roles in the development of various chronic diseases, necessitating compounds with dual therapeutic potential. METHODS A series of (E)-7-hydroxy-4-methyl-6-(3-(substituted phenyl)acryloyl)-2H-chromen-2-one (7a-m) were synthesized starting from 7-hydroxy-4-...
