The use of doxorubicin (DOX) in the treatment of solid tumors is limited by cardiotoxicity essentially due to oxidative stress generation. The aim of this study was to identify coumarin derivatives displaying a protective antioxidant activity without affecting DOX antitumoral efficiency. A set of eighteen coumarinic derivatives was synthesized. Their antioxidant power was evaluated in vitro with the FRAP (ferric reducing ability of plasma) method and in human breast adenocarcinoma MCF7 cells using H(2)DCFDA (2',7'-dichlorodihydrofluorescein diacetate) in a cytometric analysis. 4-Methyl-7,8-dihydroxycoumarin was found to exhibit an important antioxidant strength, a low cytotoxicity, and could decrease ROS (reactive oxygen species) production generated by DOX treatment without affecting DOX cytotoxicity in MCF7 cells.
