Benzoxaborole compounds for therapeutic uses: a patent review (2010- 2018)

Abstract

Benzoxaborole is a versatile boron-heterocyclic scaffold which has found in the last 10 years a broad spectrum of applications in medicinal chemistry, due to its physicochemical and drug-like properties. Use of benzoxaborole moiety in the design of compounds led to the discovery of new classes of anti-bacterial, anti-fungal, anti-protozoal, anti-viral as well as anti-inflammatory agents with interesting drug development perspectives.
