Ethyl 7-hydroxycoumarin-3-carboxylate

Ethyl 7-hydroxycoumarin-3-carboxylate is a coumarin derivative that acts as a selective and potent inhibitor of the adenosine A3 receptor. It has been shown to inhibit growth of cancer cells in vitro, and it also inhibits the proliferation of S.aureus. Ethyl 7-hydroxycoumarin-3-carboxylate binds to the α subunit in an irreversible manner, inhibiting its function. This compound has been used to study plant physiology and homogeneous catalysis.
