The benzopyran derivatives present a wide variety of biological activity and behaviour. At the same time the benzopyran derivatives support their use as therapeutic agents for multiple diseases. Their structural characteristics correlated to physicochemical properties seem to define the extent of the biological activity. Areas covered: This review summarizes new patents published on new benzopyran derivatives from 2009 to 2016. Expert opinion: Many benzopyran derivatives have vivo/vitro biological responses. Their clinical evaluation will be critical to assess therapeutic utility. The compounds containing benzopyran moiety is well defined as lead compounds for design of new more promising molecules.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
