title: Bioactive benzofuran derivatives: An insight on lead developments, radioligands and advances of the last decade.
abstract: Benzofuran core is a highly versatile, presents in many important natural products and natural drugs. Many benzofuran containing synthetic drugs and clinical candidates have been derived from natural products. The present review will provide an insight on lead design-developments of the decade, clinical candidates and PET tracer radio-ligands containing benzofuran core along with brief target biology. Brief of the all approved drugs containing benzofuran core also have been enclosed. Main therapeutic areas covered are Cancer, Neurological disorders including anti-psychotic agent and diabetes.
