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.
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.
