Abstract

SHS investigation development is considered from the geographical and historical viewpoint. 3 stages are described. Within Stage 1 the work was carried out in the Department of the Institute of Chemical Physics in Chernogolovka where the scientific discovery had been made. At Stage 2 the interest to SHS arose in different cities and towns of the former USSR. Within Stage 3 SHS entered the international scene. Now SHS processes and products are being studied in more than 50 countries.

Abstract

Phenazines are nitrogen-containing heterocycles which possess a wide range of biological activities and in particular, cytotoxic effects. Moreover, various phenazines have been prepared having alkyl, amide, carboxylic acid, aldehyde, and pyrano groups. These synthetic phenazines possess significant anticancer effects towards various cancers. On the other hand, only a few natural phenazines have been reported with anticancer effects. This chapter presents a comprehensive overview of the most recent patents related to the phenazines as anticancer agents.
