Pyridazine, also known as o-diazobenzene, is a six-membered heterocyclic compound containing two nitrogen heteroatoms in the 1 and 2 positions with a special structure and a wide biological activity. Pyridazine is more and more popular in drug development, and a variety of pyridazine drugs have been developed and marketed. From the perspective of the therapeutic field, pyridazine drug molecules are mainly used for tumor treatment, but also involve in many therapeutic fields such as inflammation, hypertension and cardiovascular disease. With the increase and in-depth of research, pyridazine drugs will play more roles in the treatment of diseases.
Thiophene is a five-membered heterocyclic compound containing a sulfur heteroatom with the molecular formula C4H4S. Thiophene is aromatic and is very similar to benzene; electrophilic substitution reaction is easier than benzene, and it is mainly substituted at the 2-position. Thiophene ring system has certain stability to oxidant.
Piperazine is an organic compound consisting of a six-membered ring containing two nitrogen atoms in opposite positions in the ring. The chemical formula of piperazine is C4H10N2, and it is an important pharmaceutical intermediate. Pyrimidines and piperazines are known to be the backbone of many bulk compounds and important core structures for approved drugs; studies have shown that combining a pyridine ring with a piperazine moiety within a single structural framework enhances biological activity.
Quinoxalines, also known as benzopyrazines, are heterocyclic compounds containing a ring complex consisting of a benzene ring and a pyrazine ring. It has isomerism with other naphthalene compounds such as quinazoline, phthalazine, cinnamine, etc. Fusion N-heterocyclic compounds are widely used as valuable entities for the expansion of important pharmacological agents and are considered to be an advantageous scaffold material. Among the numerous fused N-heterocyclic compounds, cinnoline, quinoxaline and quinazoline are important pharmacological agents. In medicinal chemistry, these N-heterocyclic compounds have a wide range of biological properties and can be used as synthetic intermediates, potential drug candidates and chemical probes.
