ABSTRACT
Coumarins are heterocyclic compound with a benzopyrone structure. Coumarins are a large group of organic compounds found in several plants even in bacteria and fungi. The biological activities of coumarins and its derivatives includes anticoagulant, anticancer, antiulcer, antifungal, anti-HIV, antimicrobial, antiosteoporosis, antioxidant and anti- inflammatory activity. Hydrazide-hydrazone derivatives act as structural sub units in many pharmacologically active compounds including coumarins to give biological activities like antimicrobial, anticancer, antifungal, anti-inflammatory, antiviral, anti-tubercular, and antiprotozoal activity. The interest in the synthesis of coumarin derivatives has been gaining importance over the last decades, reflecting the importance of such compounds in both medical and chemical research. In this review hydrazide-hydrazone derivatives of coumarins are taken into consideration and emphasised on the anticancer, antitubercular, antimicrobial, antioxidant and antidiabetic activity of these derivatives.
