: Cancer is one of the deadliest diseases in many developed and developing countries. Continuous efforts are required for designing better therapeutic agents for the treatment of cancer with more efficacy, selectivity, and less toxicity. The fused heterocyclic ring system has been identified by several researchers as a privileged structure that can be used as a basis for drug discovery in medicinal chemistry. The hetero-aromatic bicyclic ring system acts as a pharmacophore in a wide range of drugs with therapeutic potential. According to studies in the literature, variously substituted benzimidazoles have distinct pharmacological profiles with multi-targeting ability, making them an important anchor for the production of novel therapeutic agents against complex cancers including breast cancer, skin cancer, and blood cancer. In this presented article we are discussed various synthetic methods for the synthesis of anticancer benzimidazoles and their derivatives in different solvent conditions, substrates, and various catalysts mainly those which are eco-friendly, and economical, which shows the anticancer activity. We also focused on various derivatives are under clinical trials containing Benzimidazole moiety.
: Diabetes mellitus refers to one of the leading cause of diseases that affect large populations of human and is characterized by a high glucose level in the blood (also known as hyperglycemia). Thiazolidinedione (TZD) is a five-member heterocyclic compound consisting of three carbons, nitrogen and sulfur. It is also known as glitazones, can be used as potent hypoglycemic agents and is also reduce many other cardiovascular risk factors including percutaneous coronary intervention, carotid and coronary atherosclerosis. As it plays a very important role in the field of medicinal chemistry or pharmaceutical sciences, novel medicine developed and many are on underdevelopment, these derivatives have thiazolidinedione as their primary nucleus. This article has discussed the different synthetic procedures of thiazolidinediones that exhibited potential antidiabetic activity by the activation of PPAR-γ, by reducing the blood glucose levels and by different metabolic process incorporation. Thiazolidinediones has an effective profile as the future investigational drug and can be processed in drug discovery because of its efficient anti-diabetic potential.
: Benzothiazole is a heterocyclic compound that contains a benzene ring fused with a five-member 1,3-thiazole ring. Several types of research have established its potential as an antimicrobial agent, anticancer agent, anti-epileptic agent, antiviral agent, etc. Nowadays, various effective drugs utilize the hybridization of two or more pharmacophores in a single-molecule for synergizing its pharmacological action or to interact with more than one target or to reduce the side effects associated with it. In this article, various strategies for the synthesis of different pharmacologically active hybrid compounds containing benzothiazole with different substituents are highlighted. Apart from presenting the synthesis strategies, the article also highlights various pharmacological actions and molecular interactions with different biological molecules of the potential drugs containing benzothiazole.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
