Coumarin-heterocycle framework: A privileged approach in promising anticancer drug design

The cancer cases are increasing in fast pace; most of them are resulted from exposure to harmful pollutants. Genetic factors are responsible for cancer only to a small extent. Prevention and cure of cancer should be considered as a high priority because of severity of cancer-related issues. Some can...

Coumarin-heterocycle framework: A privileged approach in promising anticancer drug design
description The cancer cases are increasing in fast pace; most of them are resulted from exposure to harmful pollutants. Genetic factors are responsible for cancer only to a small extent.

However, possibility of vaccine-development for other cancer types is very scarce. Hence, chemotherapeutic regimens have been developed for treatment of cancer.
