The present paper describes a fluorometric assay for galactosaminoglycan-degrading endo-beta-xylosidase, utilizing glycosaminoglycan chains bearing a 4-methylumbelliferyl group at the reducing terminus as a substrate. This fluorogenic substrate is synthesized by human skin fibroblasts cultured in the presence of a fluorogenic

A series of new coumarin-based 1,2,4-triazole derivatives were designed, synthesized and evaluated for their antimicrobial activities in vitro against four Gram-positive bacteria (Staphylococcus aureus, MRSA, Bacillus subtilis and Micrococcus luteus), four Gram-negative bacteria (Escherichia coli, Proteus vulgaris, Salmonella typhi and

The antioxidant activity of 4-hydroxycoumarin synthetic derivatives and 4-methylumbelliferone were determined taking 4-hydroxycoumarin as the reference compound. Six 3-aryl-4-hydroxycoumarin derivatives were synthesized from 4-hydroxycoumarin as precursor in order to evaluate changes in their antioxidant properties due to C3-aryl substituent nature.
