Antioxidant and antibacterial studies of arylazopyrazoles and arylhydrazonopyrazolones containing coumarin moiety

A series of novel 1-(4-methylcoumarinyl-7-oxyacetyl)-3,5-dimethyl-4(arylazo)pyrazoles and 1-(4-methylcoumarinyl-7-oxyacetyl)-3-methyl-4-(substituted phenyl) hydrazono-2-pyrazolin-5-ones were synthesised and evaluated for antibacterial and antioxidant activities. Compounds 3b, 3g, 5b, 5d and 5g showed good antibacterial activity and compound 5e was found to be the most active antioxidant in the series, and thus represent a new class of promising lead compounds.
