The molecular structure of cyclobutane has four carbon atoms, and its four carbon atoms are not in the same plane, which is the folded conformation of cyclobutane. Cyclobutane itself is not of commercial or biological interest, but more complex derivatives are important in biology and biotechnology. Currently, nine FDA-approved drugs contain the cyclobutane structure. From the perspective of therapeutic areas, cyclobutyl drugs are mainly distributed in popular areas such as tumors, neurological diseases, infectious diseases, endocrine and metabolic diseases.
Nitrogen-containing heterocyclic compounds have a wide range of applications in medicine, organic materials, natural products and other fields, mainly for biologically active molecules. Pyrrolopyrazines contain pyrrole and pyrazine rings as bioactive scaffolds. Compounds containing this scaffold have a wide range of biological activities, such as antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, antiviral, antifungal, antioxidant, antitumor, and kinase inhibition.
