Abstract

The catechol scaffold is a significant structural component in medicinal chemistry since it is present in many naturally occurring compounds with varied biological effects, such as those that are anti-cancer, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, anti-diabetic, antimicrobial, antiviral, and antifungal. Additionally, several other synthetic catechol motifs can be found in marketed drugs. They also play a part in a variety of physiological procedures and infection defence. This review will provide an overview of catechol moieties with medical applications synthesised in the previous 15 years by choosing the most effective compound from each publication. In this review, many methods for producing catechol and its derivatives have been discussed.
