Abstract

Thiochromene and thiochromane scaffolds, sulfur containing heterocycles, have gained significant attention in medicinal chemistry due to their diverse pharmacological activities. This review provides a comprehensive analysis of their antibacterial, antifungal, antiviral, anti-parasitic, and anticancer properties, emphasizing their therapeutic potential. SAR studies highlight key molecular modifications such as electron withdrawing substituents, sulfur oxidation, and tailored ring substitutions that enhance bioactivity, potency, and target specificity. Mechanistic insights reveal their ability to inhibit microbial enzymes, disrupt cellular pathways, and modulate key biological targets. By summarizing recent advancements, this review underscores the potential of thiochromene and thiochromane based therapeutics and encourages further research to address existing limitations and enhance their drug development prospects.
