Abstract:
Coumarin and its derivatives, which are abundant in nature, have a significant role in medicinal chemistry due to their ability to bind with different targets or receptors. In addition, these possess a wide range of biological activity. Thus coumarin-based scaffold has inspired even further research into coumarin and its substituted derivatives, allowing for the creation of a huge variety of structurally different substituted products. In recent, these were reported to have potent antitubercular activity. Tuberculosis (TB) is a serious deadly infectious bacterial disease caused by grampositive Mycobacterium tuberculosis. This review discusses various developments going on in the field of medicinal chemistry towards designing, synthesizing, and discovering coumarin-based antitubercular agents all across the globe.

Causative Organism
The primary infectious agent causing tuberculosis is Mycobacterium tuberculosis, a slow-growing, acid-fast, aerobic rod that exhibits sensitivity to heat and ultraviolet light. Instances of Mycobacterium bovis and Mycobacterium avium contributing to the development of TB infection are rare.
