pharmacological activities including anti-tumour, anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidant. However, the extensive phase II metabolism and rapid elimination from the human body significantly hinder esculetin and its derivatives as drug leads/candidates. To improve both the metabolic stability and the anti-tumour activity of esculetin via rational modification, a series of C-4 and C-8 substituted derivatives

Myeloid cell leukemia-1 (Mcl-1) is a validated and attractive target for cancer therapy. Over-expression of Mcl-1 in many cancers allows cancer cells to evade apoptosis and contributes to their resistance to current chemotherapeutics. In this study, more than thirty coumarin derivatives with different substituents were designed and synthesized, and their Mcl-1 inhibitory activities evaluated using
