Abstract
Barbituric acid is a heterocyclic compound with various pharmacological and biological applications. This review paper provides a comprehensive overview of barbituric acid’s synthesis, reactions, and bio-applications, highlighting its multifaceted role in various fields. Many heterocyclic derivatives were formed based on barbituric acid, for instance, pyrano-fused pyrimidine derivatives, spiro-oxindole derivatives, chrome-based barbituric acid derivatives, and many more via the atom economic method, Michael addition reaction, Knoevenagel condensation reaction, etc. In the context of bio-applications, this review examines the production of a wide range of bioactive drugs like anti-histamine, anti-leprotic, sedative–hypnotic, anti-inflammatory, anti-urease, antiviral, anti-AIDS, antimicrobial, antioxidant, anticonvulsant, anesthetic agent, antitumor, and anticancer drugs using efficient multicomponent reactions. By showcasing the versatility and potential of this compound, it aims to inspire further research and innovation in the field, leading to the development of novel barbituric acid derivatives with enhanced properties and diverse applications, with coverage of the literature relevant up to 2024.
