Thienopyrimidines are widely represented in the literature, mainly due to their structural relationship with purine base such as adenine and guanine. This current review presents three isomers-thieno[2,3-]pyrimidines, thieno[3,2-]pyrimidines and thieno[3,4-]pyrimidines-and their anti-infective properties. Broad-spectrum thienopyrimidines with biological properties such as antibacterial, antifungal, antiparasitic and antiviral inspired us to analyze and compile their structure-activity relationship (SAR) and classify their synthetic pathways. This review explains the main access route to synthesize thienopyrimidines from thiophene derivatives or from pyrimidine analogs. In addition, SAR study and promising anti-infective activity of these scaffolds are summarized in figures and explanatory diagrams. Ligand-receptor interactions were modeled when the biological target was identified and the crystal structure was solved.

Article Synopsis
- CK2 is an important enzyme involved in cell growth and survival, making it a potential target for cancer treatments, but many existing inhibitors are not selective enough.
- Researchers discovered a new compound, a dihydropyrido-thieno[2,3-d]pyrimidine derivative, which showed strong inhibitory activity against CK2α and was notable for its unique chemical structure.
- The most effective compound, 10b, had an IC value of 36.7 nM and demonstrated good selectivity and cellular activity against certain cancer cell lines, outperforming existing inhibitors in terms of inducing cell death.

Phosphatidylinositol 3-kinases (PI3Ks) are widely expressed in tissues and cells throughout the body and are involved in a variety of physiological processes including cell growth and metabolism. The phosphoinositide-3-kinase (PI3K)/protein kinase B (AKT)/mammalian target of the rapamycin (mTOR) signaling pathway (PI3K/AKT/mTOR, PAM) is a promising target for the treatment of many cancer types because it is significantly linked to tumorigenesis and development. Aberrant activation of this pathway is observed in the majority of tumors, particularly in breast cancer.

This work describes the design and synthesis of three series of hybrids of thienopyrimidines and sulfonamides. Dihydrofolate reductase enzyme was selected as a target for the in-silico screening of the synthesized thienopyrimidine-sulfonamide hybrid as an antibacterial, while squalene epoxidase was selected as an antifungal target protein. All screened compounds showed promising binding affinity ranges, with perfect fitting not exceeding 1.

Eighteen novel compounds harboring the privileged thienopyrimidine scaffold (5a-q, and 6a),were designed based on molecular hybridization strategy. These compounds were synthesized and tested for their inhibitory activity against four different carbonic anhydrase isoforms: CA I, II, IX, and XII. Microwave and conventional techniques were applied for their synthesis.
