Synthesis and Applications of Coumarin Glycosides: A Review

Among naturally occurring biologically important molecules, coumarin glycosides constitute a significant class of organic compounds with huge medicinal importance. Exploration of potential of this class of molecules has shown their applicability as antibacterial, anticancer, anticoagulant agents. They were also found to be efficient enzyme inhibitors and fluorophores. In this review we have compiled the chemical methodologies for the synthesis of this class of molecules and discussed their varied applications.
