Abstract

Abstract The benzopyran and dihydrobenzopyran moieties can be considered as “privileged motifs” in drug discovery being good platforms for the search of new bioactive compounds. These moieties are commonly found fused to the xanthonic scaffold belonging to the biologically important family of the generally designated prenylated xanthones. Several pyranoxanthones have shown promising antitumor activity and since most of them are ...
