In present study, a new series of 4, 7-disubstituted coumarin derivatives (7a-y) have been synthesized as galectin-1 targeting apoptosis inducing agents and evaluated for their in vitro cytotoxic potentials against a panel of selected human cancer cell lines namely, Brest (MCF7), Ovarian (SKOV3), Prostate (PC-3DU145) and normal embryonic kidney (HEK293T) cells, using MTT assay. Most of the compounds exhibited potent growth inhibitory action against the treated cancer cell lines with an IC
