The exploration of heterocyclic compounds and their fused analogs, featuring key pharmacophore fragments like pyridine, thiophene, pyrimidine, and triazine rings, is pivotal in medicinal chemistry. These compounds possess a wide array of biological activities, making them an intriguing area of study. The quest for new neurotropic drugs among derivatives of these heterocycles with pharmacophore groups remains a significant research challenge.

Article Synopsis
  • Pyridine derivatives are important in medicinal chemistry due to their ability to bind biological targets, prompting research to create new thioalkyl derivatives for potential drug development.
  • The synthesis of these new compounds utilized classical organic chemistry methods, and various biological tests were conducted to analyze their neurotropic and psychotropic effects, including anticonvulsant and sedative activities.
  • Results showed that several synthesized derivatives had high gastro-intestinal absorption, low toxicity, and significant psychotropic effects, with some compounds demonstrating anxiolytic activity up to four times greater than diazepam.

Background: Heterocyclic compounds and their fused analogs, which contain pharmacophore fragments such as pyridine, thiophene and pyrimidine rings, are of great interest due to their broad spectrum of biological activity. Chemical compounds containing two or more pharmacophore groups due to additional interactions with active receptor centers usually enhance biological activity and can even lead to a new type of activity. The search for new effective neurotropic drugs in the series of derivatives of heterocycles containing pharmacophore groups in organic, bioorganic and medical chemistry is a serious problem.
