: Coumarin, sulphonamide and amide scaffolds exhibit diverse pharmacological features and constitute an important class of therapeutic agents. In this review, we have discussed the synthesis, biological properties, and SAR of coumarins containing sulphonamide or amide group in the last seven years. Many reviews on the therapeutic activities of coumarins, sulphonamides, and amides have been published, hence the authors focused on coumarin-linked sulphonamide or amide scaffolds. The review provides information on the synthetic route to new coumarins containing sulphonamide or amide groups with improved pharmacological properties.

Westiellopsis prolifica Janet and Chaetophora attenuata Hazen cultures released sugars (glucose, fructose, and sucrose), organic acids (oxaloacetic acid and oxalic acid), amino acids, and protein. W. prolifica cultures released the amino acids glycine, serine, cystine, glutamic acid, aspartic acid, and α-alanine, while C. attenuata cultures released glycine, serine, aspartic acid, and α-alanine. W. prolifica and C. attenuata cultures of all ages released more extracellular protein than total free amino acids. Cultures of C. attenuata released more protein than cultures of the same age of W. prolifica. The filtrates from old cultures of W. prolifica and C. attenuata decreased the total chlorophyll content of all algae tested, totally suppressed conjugation in Spirogyra decimino and zoospore formation in C. attenuata, and drastically decreased spore germination in W. prolifica, thus producing stressful conditions affecting the growth and reproduction of these and other algae.

N-substituted 3, 4-fullero pyrrolidine was synthesized according to 1, 3-dipolar cycloaddition of the azomethine ylide. Aspartic acid with protected α-amino and α-carboxyl groups was reacted with the activated hydroxyl group of N-substituted 3, 4-fullero pyrrolidine. The products were deprotected, affording the monofullerene aspartic acid (mFas). The conjugate FasT was synthesized by reaction of mFas containing protected amino group with the thymidylic acid derivatived controlled pore glass (CPG) using solid phase synthesis. All of the above fullerene derivatives were characterized by UV–vis, 1H NMR, IR and MS spectrometric analysis, giving the correct spectra with regard to their chemical structure. The chemical structures of fullerene nucleotides conjugate FasT is different from previous reports and may have novel biological properties. Moreover, they are more suitable for applications in biomedical research due to their solubilization in THF and DMSO. They have a potential to be used as monomer for the automatic synthesis. It allows further conjugation with specific biomolecules including amino acids, peptides, nucleotides and nucleic acids. A novel method has been developed to synthesize fullerene nucleotides conjugate. Their unique chemical structures make them very interesting for their potential use in medicine and biology.
