Abstract

Benzoxazin-4-one is a heterocyclic aromatic organic compound. It consist of fusion of benzene and 1, 3-oxazinan-6-one. Benzoxazin-4-one has been found with enormous biological activities with the suitable modifications in the structure. The present review is an attempt made to direct the attention of the researchers towards the Benzoxazin-4-one ring for the development of newer chemical entities which are quite useful in the treatment of various life threatening diseases and disorders This review article covers the most active Benzoxazin-4-one derivatives that have shown considerable biological actions such as anticancer, antitubercular, antifungal and hypolipidaemic activity. This review also discusses the structure-activity relationship of the most potent compounds. It can act as an important tool for medicinal chemists to develop newer compounds possessing Benzoxazin-4-one moiety that could be better agents in terms of efficacy and safety.
