7-hydroxy-2-oxo-chromene-3-carboxylic acid ethyl ester

**7-Hydroxy–2-Oxo–Chromene–3-Carboxylic Acid Ethyl Ester** is a synthetic small molecule belonging to the class of coumarin derivatives, specifically chromenes. It features a benzopyran ring system with hydroxyl and carboxylic ester functional groups. This compound has been investigated for its potential pharmacological properties, including antimicrobial and anticancer activities, though it is not approved for any clinical use. Mechanistically, some research suggests it may act as an inhibitor of macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF), which could be relevant in inflammation or cancer biology[5][10][3]. However, no approved indications or advanced clinical trials are reported for this compound.
