Abstract
Background:
Several quinones are on the pharmaceutical market as drugs for the treatment of several diseases.
Objective:
The aim of this review was to provide an overview on the quinones that have become drugs for several therapeutic applications.
Method:
We have comprehensively and critically discussed all the information available in the literature about quinonebased drugs.
Results:
In this review, the various aspects of the chemistry and biochemistry of these drugs are highlighted, including their repositioning, drug combination and their new uses.
Conclusion:
The number of studies related to quinone drugs for different pharmaceutical uses shows that the interest in new applications still increasing in recent years.
