RT Journal Article T1 Trending Topics on Coumarin and Its Derivatives in 2020 A1 Carneiro Viqueira, Aitor A1 Matos, Maria João Correia Pinto Carvalho de A1 Uriarte Villares, Eugenio A1 Santana Penín, María Lourdes K1 Coumarins K1 Biological applications K1 Drug discovery K1 Fluorescent probes AB Coumarins are naturally occurring molecules with a versatile range of activities. Their structural and physicochemical characteristics make them a privileged scaffold in medicinal chemistry and chemical biology. Many research articles and reviews compile information on this important family of compounds. In this overview, the most recent research papers and reviews from 2020 are organized and analyzed, and a discussion on these data is included. Multiple electronic databases were scanned, including SciFinder, Mendeley, and PubMed, the latter being the main source of information. Particular attention was paid to the potential of coumarins as an important scaffold in drug design, as well as fluorescent probes for decaging of prodrugs, metal detection, and diagnostic purposes. Herein we do an analysis of the trending topics related to coumarin and its derivatives in the broad field of drug discovery PB MDPI YR 2021 FD 2021 LK http://hdl.handle.net/10347/24462 UL http://hdl.handle.net/10347/24462 LA eng NO Molecules 2021, 26(2), 501; https://doi.org/10.3390/molecules26020501 NO This research was funded by Xunta de Galicia (Galician Plan of Research, Innovation and Growth 2011–2015, Plan I2C, ED481B 2014/027-0, ED481B 2014/086–0 and ED481B 2018/007) and Fundação para a Ciência e Tecnologia (FCT, CEECIND/02423/2018 and UIDB/00081/2020) DS Minerva RD 28 abr 2026
