Introduction

This book explores the comprehensive review of syntheses and pharmaceutical applications of five-membered bioactive heterocycles containing two or more heteroatoms. This book will help medicinal chemists to develop a new synthetic methodology that enables quick access to a wide range of functionalized heterocyclic compounds. Heterocyclic compounds are a class of organic compounds that contain at least one atom other than carbon in the ring structure. The presence of heteroatoms such as nitrogen, oxygen, and sulfur in the aromatic ring increases the polarity and offers the possibility of hydrogen bonds that can improve the binding affinity and selectivity of the drug at the target site. Heteroaromatic rings are considered preferred structures due to their ability to replace common motives in medicinal chemistry, enabling an improvement of metabolic stability, solubility, and bioavailability, which are essential elements for the development of effective drugs. These properties can lead to the modulation of different biochemical metabolic pathways, resulting in therapeutic effects. Among active compounds with aromatic groups, five-membered heterocyclic compounds are of great importance in the field of pharmaceutical and medicinal chemistry. These rings belong to a class of organic compounds that contain at least one non-carbon atom within their structure. The various synthetic protocols like microwave-assisted, nano-catalyzed, green synthesis, click reaction, and multicomponent routes could be used for the betterment of the purity of products, selectivity, and yields of the products. The inclusion of heteroatoms such as nitrogen, oxygen, and sulfur in the aromatic ring enhances the polarity of the compound and introduces the potential for multiple target-inhibitor interactions. This, in turn, improves the drug’s binding affinity and selectivity at the intended target site. Heteroaromatic rings are considered favorable structures in medicinal chemistry as they can replace common motifs, leading to enhanced metabolic stability, solubility, and bioavailability. Due to their unique physicochemical properties and biological effects, these compounds are used as key structural motifs in many clinically effective drugs. Therefore, the development and synthesis of novel five-membered heterocycles remains an important research area in medicinal chemistry, to find new drugs for the treatment of various diseases. In overall, this book will provide a current update on bioactive five-membered heterocycles, showing that these molecules can serve as a guiding reservoir for researchers in nearly every pathological condition, assisting them in the creation of new and effective lead compounds.

Objective

to use it as a reference book by academicians, research scholars, and the scientific community who are endeavoring to design &develop novel five-membered heterocycles containing bioactive molecules. to present an overview of the applications of synthetic protocols for the preparation of five-membered heterocyclic compounds containing two or more heteroatoms (O, N, S) at different-different positions along with their different potent and competent candidates against various diseases. To present a comprehensive review on five-membered bioactive heterocycles: Synthesis and biological applications. To evolvie at new, green, and sustainable method protocols for five-membered heterocycles with two or more heteroatoms. To provide recent biological applications of five-membered bioactive heterocycles. To give insight about current trends in five-membered heterocycles with two or more heteroatoms.
