1,5-Benzoxazepines as a unique and potent scaffold for activity drugs: A review

Arch Pharm (Weinheim). 2021 Dec;354(12):e2100224. doi: 10.1002/ardp.202100224. Epub 2021 Aug 8.

Abstract

Benzoxazepines constitute a huge number of organic compounds widely described in the literature. Many of them are distinguished by their biological properties. Among them, our attention was drawn to 1,5-benzoxazepine derivatives due to their interesting pharmacological properties. As is reported in the literature, these compounds are not only good building blocks in organic synthesis but also have interesting biological and pharmacological properties. This article is the first review publication to describe the synthesis methods and unique properties of 1,5-benzoxazepines. Literature reports widely describe the biological properties of 1,5-benzoxazepine, like anticancer, antibacterial, or antifungal activities. 1,5-Benzoxazepine derivatives can also interact with G-protein-coupled receptors and could be incorporated into new potential drugs, among others, in treating neuronal disorders like Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease.

Keywords: 1,5-benzoxazepines; antibacterial activities; antitumor; nervous system diseases; receptors.
