Abstract
Facile synthesis of 6-or 7-substituted coumarin-indomathacin hybrids (Coum-IDM) has been developed for specific cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) binding along with their intrinsic fluorescent properties. A mild and rapid condensation/dehydrative cyclization of 2-hydroxy benzaldehyde with activated indomethacin was carried out in one step under ultrasound irradiation. Coum-IDM4 was found to be the best of this series as it presented significant binding to COX-2 and exhibited higher fluorescent intensity in cancer cell compared to that in the normal cells. Therefore, in the light of drug development tool, this new hybrid system could be a potential targeted probe for COX-2 over-expressed inflammation and cancer cells tracking.
