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.
Thienopyrimidines are a class of heterocyclic compounds with diverse biological activities depending on their detailed substitution patterns. In addition, many thienopyrimidine derivatives have shown potent activity against cancer cell lines and specific oncogenes.
