ABSTRACT
The review explores the versatile nature of phenothiazine, a highly adaptable heterocycle with
significant implications in medicinal chemistry. It delves into various synthetic methods for preparing
phenothiazine derivatives, emphasizing the tricyclic structure's role as a fundamental framework.
Substitution of the NH group can significantly impact pharmacological activity, influencing interactions
with biological targets. The review covers areas such as anticancer activity, highlighting the potential
of phenothiazine derivatives against a spectrum of cancer cell lines. Additionally, it discusses
antioxidant activity, crucial for neutralizing free radicals, and antifungal activity against various yeast
and mold strains. These insights underscore the potential applications of phenothiazine derivatives in
drug discovery and development, promising avenues for combating cancer, oxidative stress, and fungal
infections. This comprehensive overview provides a foundation for further research and synthesis in the
pursuit of novel pharmaceutical agents.
