Application
4-Methylumbelliferone is primarily used in synthesizing medicinal compounds and as a building block for fluorescent probes. Applications include synthesis of:
- coumarin triazole derivatives as potential antimicrobial agents.
- coumarin salen-based fluorescence sensors for Mg2+ detection.
- pyranocoumarin derivatives as anti-hyperglycemic and anti-dyslipidemic agents.
- coumarin piperazine derivatives as potential multireceptor atypical antipsychotics.
- 4-methylumbelliferyl T-antigen as a substrate for endo-α-N-acetylgalactosaminidase.
