<p>Xanthone is a compound that has been shown to have a significant cytotoxicity against HL-60 cells and to inhibit the cyclase enzyme. Xanthone also inhibits the protein production of mcl-1, which is necessary for the development of cancer cells. This compound has antiinflammatory activity and can be used in treating infectious diseases such as tuberculosis, malaria, and leprosy. The biological properties of xanthone are shown by its ability to scavenge anion radicals and to act as a fluorescence probe for coumarin derivatives.</p>

<p>Xanthone is used predominantly as oxygenated polycyclic aromatic compounds, and as a vasorelaxant. It can be used as a fluorescent agent, as well as an intermediate in organic synthesis and chemical research.
