Abstract
Abstract:
In many significant bioactive heterocyclic compounds, the six-membered ring
pyrimidines play a major role as bioactive components. There is a lot of room for innovation
in the fields of medicinal chemistry and the chemical industries because of the numerous
pyrimidine synthesis methods and their varied reactions. The pharmacological effects of
pyrimidine derivatives include anticonvulsant, antibacterial, antifungal, antiviral, antitubercular,
anticancer, antimicrobial, antihypertensive, antiulcer, anti-inflammatory, antimalarial,
antioxidant, analgesic, sedative, anti-depressive, antipyretic properties, etc. The synthetic
adaptability of pyrimidine has made it possible to create a wide range of structurally
different analogs, including analogs from substitution on the pyrimidine ring at various
places, which has aided the design of a wide variety of therapeutic targets. This review's goal
is to examine the pharmacological effects of numerous pyrimidine derivatives. This review provides an overview
of pyrimidine compounds for biological activities and examines the novel pharmacological molecules containing
pyrimidine rings in the future.
