Abstract
Coumarins are a diverse class of phytochemicals found in many human diets
and have been shown to have various pharmacological actions. The chapter discusses
the role of coumarins in disease prevention and treatment and their classification based
on structure. It also highlights that the various schemes of coumarin possess antiinflammatory properties, making them a promising scaffold for the synthesis of a new
class of anti-inflammatory drugs. Overall, this chapter provides valuable information
on the potential use of coumarins as anti-inflammatory agents and their synthetic
aspects. This book chapter focuses on the development of various possible potential
anti-inflammatory molecules having a coumarin core.
