Heterocycles play an important role in bioactive libraries and the pharmaceutical industry. They play an important role in our biological system, so
researchers are still designing and discovering novel pharmacologically active molecules that may help to solve recent health issues. Nitrogenheterocycles
are a common nucleus in many bioactive natural products and FDA-approved drugs, and they provide an important framework in
drug discovery and agrochemical industries. Among all the common Nitrogen-heterocycles, 2-pyridone, a six-membered nitrogen ring, has piqued
the interest of researchers due to its potent biological actions such as antibacterial, antitumor, antiinflammatory, antiproliferative, anti-hepatitis B
virus, SARS-CoV-2 main protease inhibitor, and analgesic properties. According to a recent review, 2-pyridone structural motifs are important in
the syn.. Read More»
