Comprehensive Chemistry and Biology of Coumarins Scaffold covers detailed methods and protocols to synthetize Coumarin derivatives and different applications and future perspectives for these compounds. Coumarin-Based Scaffolds plays an important role in organic, bioorganic, and medicinal chemistry as they act as a bridge between chemistry, life sciences, and biochemical investigations. Coumarin is an important scaffold for designing, generating a wide variety of chemical libraries and drug-like candidates to obtain desired therapeutic and pharmacological properties. Specific functional groups are covered as well as the synthesis of bioactive compounds against specific pathological conditions. The discovery of new coumarin-based drug candidates during the last decades has been covered to assist the pharmaceutical, bioorganic and medicinal chemists for their further research on coumarin-based molecules.

Prof. Dr. Khan is among the most prominent scientists of Pakistan recognized for his original contributions in the field of medicinal chemistry and drug discovery. He established a world-class medicinal and synthetic laboratory at the International Center for Chemical and Biological Sciences, University of Karachi, focusing on the discovery of new enzyme inhibitors and other bioactive compounds. He is mentoring a large number of young researchers in the field of drug designing and drug and designing. He enriched world literature with several novel classes of bioactive substances and helped in the development of new pharmacophores. The major emphasis of his work is on the synthesis of inhibitors of clinically important enzymes. In his work, he uses a minimum pharmacophore approach and concentrates on the understanding of the functional profile of the active parts of potential drug candidates. His current research interests also include bioassay-directed isolation of natural products and the development of nano-medicines.
