NEW APPROACHES TO SYNTHESIS OF HETEROCYCLIC DERIVATIVES OF PYRIDINE CARBOXYLIC ACIDS, ACRIDINE AND PYRAZOLONE

Abstract

The urgent task of modern pharmaceutical chemistry is the development of new methods of synthesis, the study of chemical properties, as well as the search for biologically active compounds among derivatives of nicotinic and isonicotinic acids. The review examines synthetic approaches to the production of carboxylic acid esters including nicotinic and isonicotinic acids, gives examples of the biological activity of nicotinic and isonicotinic acids and their derivatives. The methods for the synthesis of azomethines, substituted acridines and pyrazolones are discussed, examples of their biological activity are given. A promising concept for the synthesis of new potential drugs based on heterocyclic derivatives of nicotinic and isonicotinic acids is presented. The methods of functionalization of organic compounds considered in this review with regard to the synthesis of heterocyclic derivatives of nicotinic and isonicotinic acids make it possible to obtain new promising compounds potentially having antibacterial, antiviral, fungicidal and antitumor activity.
