Abstract:
Cyclopropenone is a valuable electrophilic reagent that can react with electrophilic reagents, nucleophilic reagents, free radicals, organic metals, etc. Furthermore, cyclopropenone derivatives have shown significant biological activity in various diseases, such as triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC), melanoma, and alopecia areata (AA). The cyclopropenone analogue diphenylcyclopropenone (DPCP) has been approved for the treatment of AA. Given the potential therapeutic benefits of cyclopropenone derivatives, this review aims to systematically summarize the structures, synthesis routes, and potential pharmacological functions of cyclopropenone analogues in the hope of offering novel insights for further rational design of more drugs based on the cyclopropenone skeleton for the treatment of human diseases.
