Anticancer Activities of Some Heterocyclic Compounds Containing an Oxygen Atom: A Review
DOI:
https://doi.org/10.54133/ajms.v4i.109Keywords:
Oxygen-containing heterocyclic compounds, Anticancer activity, Standard drugs, Benzo furan, Oxazole, Benzoxazole, OxadiazoleAbstract
The purpose of this study is to underline the progression and development of research regarding oxygen-containing heterocycles as well as the contribution that some oxygen-containing heterocycles have made as anticancer medicines. A series of publications about the antitumor effects of derivatives of heterocyclic compounds containing an oxygen atom, such as furan, benzofuran, oxazole, benzoxazole, and oxadiazole, were evaluated, and their anticancer activities showed encouraging results when compared to those of established standard treatments.
