A Review on the Medicinal Significance of Heterocyclic Compounds
Heterocyclic compounds with diverse structures can be synthesized using various methods, enabling the design of molecules with desired properties, underscoring their crucial role in medicinal chemistry.
Abstract
Abstract: Heterocyclic chemistry focuses on the study of organic compounds containing at least one ring structure with atoms of at least two different elements. These compounds are pervasive in various chemical disciplines and have significant importance in life processes. They are found in natural products and are of great interest to industries like pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. Heterocyclic compounds with diverse structures can be synthesized using various methods, enabling the design of molecules with desired properties. Over 90% of newly approved drugs contain heterocyclic structures, underscoring their crucial role in medicinal chemistry. This interdisciplinary field is essential for understanding and manipulating biological processes and is indispensable in drug discovery and development.
