Özet

Cardiovascular diseases are one of the primary causes of deaths worldwide, and the development of atherosclerosis is closely related to hypercholesterolemia. As the reduction of the low-density lipoprotein cholesterol level is critical for treating these diseases, the inhibition of 3-hydroxy-3-methyl-glutaryl coenzyme A (HMG-CoA) reductase, which is essentially responsible for cholesterol biosynthesis, stands out as a key solution to lower plasma cholesterol levels. In this study, we synthesized several dihydroxycoumarins and investigated their antioxidant and in vitro HMG-CoA reductase inhibitory effects. Furthermore, we carried out in silico studies and examined the quantum-chemical properties of the coumarin derivatives. We also performed molecular docking experiments and analyzed the binding strength of each coumarin derivative. Our results revealed that compoundIVdisplayed the highest HMG-CoA reductase inhibitory activity (IC50 = 42.0 mu M) in vitro. Cupric-reducing antioxidant capacity and ferric-reducing antioxidant power assays demonstrated that coumarin derivatives exhibit potent antioxidant activities. Additionally, a close relationship was found between the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital energy levels and the antioxidant activities.
