众所周知，色酮是许多天然化合物和药用物质中发现的基本结构元素。色酮的希夫碱具有更广泛的药理学应用，例如抗肿瘤、抗氧化、抗艾滋病毒、抗真菌、抗炎和抗菌特性。由于色酮基铜(ii)希夫碱配合物在有机金属领域的作用以及作为潜在生物活性核心的前景，人们对其进行了大量的研究。这篇综述文章以色酮衍生的铜 (ii) 席夫碱配合物为中心，重点介绍了过去十年记录的各种药理学应用，以及它们提供的未来研究机会。该期刊版权所有 © 英国皇家化学学会。

Chromones are well known as fundamental structural elements found in numerous natural compounds and medicinal substances. The Schiff bases of chromones have a much wider range of pharmacological applications such as antitumor, antioxidant, anti-HIV, antifungal, anti-inflammatory, and antimicrobial properties. A lot of research has been carried out on chromone-based copper(ii) Schiff-base complexes owing to their role in the organometallic domain and promise as potential bioactive cores. This review article is centered on copper(ii) Schiff-base complexes derived from chromones, highlighting their diverse range of pharmacological applications documented in the past decade, as well as the future research opportunities they offer.This journal is © The Royal Society of Chemistry.
