Coumestan
Coumestan is a secondary metabolite found in leguminous plants and can be used as drug intermediate Coumestan can be used to synthesize various coumarin compounds such as Coumestrol (HY-N2335), Glytabastan B, and Coumestan Pks13 inhibitor. Coumestans can be used for the study of anti-cancer, anti-inflammatory, anti-oxidative, antibacterial, neuroprotective and organ protective.
