“…Besides these unique physical and chemical properties, they also possess various bioactivities, such as antifungal [ 4 ], anti-inflammatory [ 5 , 6 , 7 ], and analgesic activities [ 8 , 9 , 10 , 11 ]. They are inhibitors of cyclic AMP phosphodiesterase and antagonists of adenosine receptors [ 12 , 13 ], and show antibacterial [ 14 , 15 , 16 ], anti-tumor [ 17 ], and insecticidal [ 18 , 19 , 20 , 21 , 22 ] activities. Encouraged by these characteristics of mesoionic compounds, many researchers have studied the potential applications of mesoionics [ 23 ].…”
