The presumption that some coumarins might be lead compounds in the search for new differentiation agents against leukemia is based on the fact that natural coumarins, 5-(3-methyl-2-butenyloxy)-6,7-methylenedioxycoumarin (C-2) and 5-methoxy-6,7-methylenedioxycoumarin (C-1) inhibit proliferation and induce differentiation in U-937 cells [Riveiro

A photo-switchable fluorescent flagging approach has been developed to identify photoaffinity-labeled peptides in target protein. Upon photochemical release of the ligand, the protein was newly modified with a coumarin in place of the previously attached biotin. It allowed us to
