Abstract
Cancer is one of the major healthcare challenges across the globe. Several anticancer drugs are available on the market but they either lack specificity or have poor safety, severe side effects, and suffer from resistance. So, there is a dire need to develop safer and target-specific anticancer drugs. More than 85% of all physiologically active pharmaceuticals are heterocycles or contain at least one heteroatom. Nitrogen heterocycles constituting the most common heterocyclic framework. In this study, we have compiled the FDA approved heterocyclic drugs with nitrogen atoms and their pharmacological properties. Moreover, we have reported nitrogen containing heterocycles, including pyrimidine, quinolone, carbazole, pyridine, imidazole, benzimidazole, triazole, β-lactam, indole, pyrazole, quinazoline, quinoxaline, isatin, pyrrolo-benzodiazepines, and pyrido[2,3-d]pyrimidines, which are used in the treatment of different types of cancer, concurrently covering the biochemical mechanisms of action and cellular targets.

Abstract
The advent of next-generation sequencing (NGS) technology has plummeted the cost of whole genome sequencing, which has provided a long list of putative drug targets for a variety of diseases ranging from infectious diseases to cancers. The majority of these drug targets are still awaiting high-quality small molecule ligands to validate their therapeutic potential and track their druggability. Screening compound libraries based on privileged scaffolds is an efficient strategy to identify potential ligands to distinct biological targets. 7H-Pyrrolo[3,2-f]quinazoline (PQZ) is a potential privileged heterocyclic scaffold with diverse pharmacological properties. A number of biological targets have been identified for different derivatives of PQZ. This review summarized the synthetic strategies to access the chemical space associated with PQZ and discussed their unique biological profiles.

Abstract
Several new alkylguanidines derived from carbazole have been synthesized in a simple one-pot reaction starting from 3-aminocarbazole derivatives. The aminocarbazoles were reacted with ethoxycarbonylisothiocyanate, to give thiourea intermediates, followed by the addition of an alkylamine and HgCl2 to give ethoxycarbonylguanidine intermediates. The reaction mixture was then heated at 160 °C to give the N-(1,4-dimethyl-9H-carbazol-3-yl)-N'-alkylguanidines. The cytotoxic activity of all the synthesized guanidines was evaluated against different cell lines.

Abstract
A small library of heterocycle-fused quinazolin-4-ones was prepared and evaluated as kinase inhibitors. The key step of the two-step process involves the environmental friendly thermolysis of N-ethoxycarbonyl-N'-(hetero) arylguanidines at 130 °C in water. The cyclization is fully regioselective. The most active molecules, 7-(2-hydroxyethylamino)- and 7-(3-hydroxypropylamino)-pyrazolo[4,3-f]quinazolin-9-ones, inhibit DYRK1A and CLK1 at submicromolar concentrations, indicating the potential interest of this new heterocycle in drug design.
