Description:
Aims: To profile and address matters surrounding ochnaflavone (1), derivatives and analogues.
Methodology: Papers concerning ochnaflavone, derivatives and analogues were accessed from search engines such as google scholar and pubmed.
Results: Ochnaflavone and derivatives are compounds bearing ether linkage between the two Brings of the two flavonoid moieties. These compounds are known to possess potent biological activities such as anti-inflammatory, anticancer, anti HIV and antimicrobial.
Conclusion: In this paper, an overview summary of ochnaflavone, derivatives and analogues from past to present is presented. Thus, the paper provides a sense of focus to researchers; seal breaks the unattended matters, and therefore, spearheads new research areas concerning these compounds.
