Abstract

Sulfones have been studied broadly for various biological activities primarily as anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, anticancer, anti-HIV, antimalarial, and anti-inflammatory. The review focused on the biological activity of various sulfones on different therapeutic targets. The aim of this review is to summarize the biological significance of sulfones, giving a comprehensive scenario and offer prospective in the development of new sulfone derivatives as therapeutic agents.
