Antiallergic activity of 4-hydroxy-3-nitrocoumarins

J Med Chem. 1975 Apr;18(4):391-4. doi: 10.1021/jm00238a014.

Abstract

Twenty-four substituted 4-hydroxy-3-nitrocoumarins have been prepared for nitration of the corresponding 4-hydroxycoumarins. All were found to possess antiallergic activity as measured by the homocytotropic antibody-antigen induced passive cutaneous anaphylaxis reaction in the rat.
