| Abstract | ||||
| The unique chemical characteristics of the phenothiazine ring system have been a major driving force for the development of various phenothiazine-based compounds with a huge spectrum of industrial and biological significance. Literature is ever continuously growing discussing the different roles and synthetic routes of phenothiazines. A huge body of novel and repurposed phenothiazines have been reported to have antitumor action. Unfortunately, only few reports discuss the proper mechanism of such action. In this review, a comprehensive overview of the identified targets and/or mechanism of action of recently reported antitumor phenothiazine derivatives are reviewed. | ||||
