Potential Nitrogen-Based Heterocyclic Compounds for Treating Infectious Diseases: A Literature Review

Heterocyclic compounds are considered as one of the major and most diverse family of organic compounds. Nowadays, the demand for these compounds is increasing day-by-day due to their enormous synthetic and biological applications. These heterocyclic compounds have unique antibacterial activity against various Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacterial strains. This review covers the antibacterial activity of different heterocyclic compounds with nitrogen moiety. Some of the derivatives of these compounds show excellent antibacterial activity, while others show reasonable activity against bacterial strains. This review paper aims to bring and discuss the detailed information on the antibacterial activity of various nitrogen-based heterocyclic compounds. It will be helpful for the future evolution of diseases to synthesize new and effective drug molecules.

Synthesis of Benzalacetophenone Based Isoxazoline and Isoxazole Derivatives

Abstract:

The demand for natural product based drugs with less cost and efficient procedures has become a challenge to researchers. Benzalacetophenone is a natural product based species that is modified into numerous heterocyclic compounds including isoxazoline and isoxazole derivatives. The utility of isoxazoline and oxazole derivatives has been increased for the synthesis of the new and effective chemical entities to serve medicinal chemistry in the past few years. Isoxazoline and isoxazole are fascinating classes of heterocyclic compounds, which belong to N- and O-heterocycles, and are widely used as precursors for the development of drugs. This review highlights the recent work for the synthesis of mono and bis isoxazoline and isoxazole derivatives using stable benzalacetophenone and functionalization of isoxazoline and isoxazole, along with the prevailing biological properties.
