A series of novel 6-methoxy-2-(piperazin-1-yl)-4H-chromen-4-one and 5, 7-dimethoxy-2- (piperazin-1-ylmethyl)-4H-chromen-4-one derivatives of biological interest were prepared and screened for their pro-inflammatory cytokines (TNF-α and IL-6) and antimicrobial activity (antibacterial and antifungal). Among all the compound screened (5a–j and 10k–t), the compounds 5c, 5g, 5h, 10l, 10m, 10n and 10r found to have promising anti-inflammatory ...
