Advances of Phenoxazines: Synthesis, Reactivity and Their Medicinal Applications

Abstract

Phenoxazines are an important class of heterocycles, which are emerging in the field of medicinal chemistry. They exhibit numerous biological activities, including antiviral, anticancer, anti-Alzheimer, antidiabetic, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antibiotic and many more. The present review focuses on the chemistry along with the medicinal applications of the phenoxazine moiety, in order to provide a greater insight for the development of future phenoxazine therapeutics.
