Diverse therapeutic potential of 3-hydroxy-4-pyranones and related compounds as kojic acid analogs

Abstract Kojic acid (KA) is a natural product containing 3-hydroxy-4-pyranone scaffold. It is produced by various aerobic microorganisms such as Aspergillus and Penicillium species. Since this bioactive compound can inhibit tyrosinase enzyme, it has been mainly used as a whitening agent in cosmetics. KA is a polyfunctional heterocycle providing a potential intermediate for the design and synthesis of new biologically active compounds. Numerous studies demonstrated that KA-derived compounds have significant antibacterial, antifungal, anticancer, anticonvulsant, anti-Alzheimer’s disease and metal chelating activities. In this review, we have described diverse therapeutic potential of 3-hydroxy-4-pyranones and related compounds as kojic acid analogs. Modification of the natural product kojic acid has been considered for new lead generation with diverse biological activities..
