Exploring the therapeutic potential of acridines: Synthesis, structure, and biological applications.

The objective of this review was to explore the trends and chemical characteristics of acridines and their derivatives, analyze their contribution to the scientific literature and international cooperation, identify the most influential authors and articles, and provide an overview of the knowledge produced in elucidating their mechanisms of action. To this end, a bibliometric analysis was performed using RStudio software, along with a systematic review focusing on articles indexed in the "Web of Science" and "Scopus" databases. The keywords used were "acridine$", "Synthesi$", "Structure$", and "Biologic* Application$" for the period from 2020 to 2024.
