This review which is the second in this series summarises the most common synthetic routes as applied to the preparation of many modern pharmaceutical compounds categorised as containing a six-membered heterocyclic ring. The reported examples are based on the top retailing drug molecules combining synthetic information from both scientific journals and the wider patent literature. It is hoped that this compilation, in combination with the previously published review on five-membered rings, will form a comprehensive foundation and reference source for individuals interested in medicinal, synthetic and preparative chemistry.

This review presents a comprehensive overview on selected synthetic routes towards commercial drug compounds as published in both journal and patent literature. Owing to the vast number of potential structures, we have concentrated only on those drugs containing five-membered heterocycles and focused principally on the assembly of the heterocyclic core. In order to target the most representative chemical entities the examples discussed have been selected from the top 200 best selling drugs of recent years.

AbstractThe novel coronavirus (COVID-19) disease has rapidly evolved into a sweeping pandemic despite public health measures. Screening and development of new vaccines and antivirals are expensive and time consuming. However, the repositioning of available drugs is an essential and universal strategy in the development of new drugs and therefore should receive priority attention as well as international government and agency support. Significant drugs such as chloroquine, hydroxychloroquine, favipiravir and remdesivir, are currently undergoing clinical studies to test their efficacy and safety. Some promising results have been achieved thus far in the treatment of COVID-19. In this article we summarize and discuss the most common synthetic strategies to apply in the preparation of these drug molecules. It is hoped that this compendium will provide an accessible useful guide and reference source for scientists, researchers and academia in their battle against COVD-19.1 Introduction2 Synthesis of Chloroquine (CQ) and Hydroxychloroquine (HCQ)2.1 Synthesis of 4,7-Dichloroquinoline 1 2.2 Synthesis of 2-Amino-5-(diethylamino)pentane (Novoldiamine) 2 2.3 Synthesis of 5-(N-Ethyl-N-2-hydroxyethylamino)-2-pentylamine 4 2.4 Developed Methods for Synthesis of Chloroquine and Hydroxychloroquine2.5 Synthesis of (R)-Chloroquine, (S)-Chloroquine, (R)-Hydroxychloroquine and (S)-Hydroxychloroquine3 Synthesis of Favipiravir (Avigan)4 Synthesis of Remdesivir5 Conclusion

Oxazolidinone is a five-member heterocyclic ring exhibiting potential medicinal properties with preferential antibacterial activity. Scientists reported various synthetic procedures for this heterocyclic structure. Current review articles tried to cover each and every potential aspect of oxazolidinone like synthetic routes, pharmacological mechanism of action, medicinal properties, and current research activities.

Flavonoids and their derivatives have historically been a source of therapeutic agents. Every year, more and more data is published on new flavonoid compounds, both synthetic and isolated from natural sources, and their innumerable physiological and pharmacological activities. This review presents synthetic routes towards 3-(carboxyphenyl)chromones and evaluation of their biological activity as published in both journal and patent literature. We have focused specifically on the 3-(carboxyphenyl)chromones, because while methods of synthesis and biological activity of 2(3)-substituted and 2,3-disubstituted chromones are well studied, literature data on isoflavones containing a carboxyl, ester, or amide group in ring B is scarce and fragmentary. The presented generalization of synthetic strategies and biological activity of 3-(carboxyphenyl)chromone derivatives demonstrates that this class of compounds can be targeted for discovery of new drugs and can be readily prepared owing to recent advances in synthetic organic and medicinal chemistry.

We have developed efficient synthetic routes to heterocyclic ring systems using transition metals (palladium, iron, and silver). Recent applications of this chemistry to the total synthesis of biologically active alkaloids include carbazole alkaloids (pityriazole, euchrestifoline, the antiostatins), crispine A, pentabromo- and pentachloropseudilin. The two latter alkaloids represent a novel class of myosin ATPase inhibitors that led to the discovery of a new allosteric binding site of the protein.

A highly effective method for the synthesis of formyl C-glycosides is described via addition of 2-lithiothiazole or 2-lithiobenzothiazole to sugar lactones, deoxygenation of the resulting ketols, and releasing of the formyl group from the heterocyclic ring. The synthetic utility of these sugar aldehydes is demonstrated by the development of synthetic methods to more elaborate C-glycosides. These include various (1-6)-C-disaccharides and some higher oligomers up to a C,C,C,C-pentasaccharide; C-glycosyl amino acid isosteres of N-glycosyl asparagines; the methylene isostere of β-Δ-galactosyl ceramide; linear and cylic (2-1)-ketoside oligomers. An alternative synthesis of ethylene-bridged glycosyl asparagine isosteres is illustrated by the use of ethynyl C-glycosides as starting materials.

Mycotoxins produced by Fusarium species on cereals represent a major concern for food safety worldwide. Fusarium toxins that are currently under regulation for their content in food include trichothecenes, fumonisins, and zearalenone. Biological control of Fusarium spp. has been widely explored with the aim of limiting disease occurrence, but few efforts have focused so far on limiting toxin accumulation in grains. The bacterial genus Streptomyces is responsible for the production of numerous drug molecules and represents a huge resource for the discovery of new molecules. Streptomyces spp. are also efficient plant colonizers and able to employ different mechanisms of control against toxigenic fungi on cereals. This review describes the outcomes of research using Streptomyces strains and/or their derived molecules to limit toxin production and/or contamination of Fusarium species in cereals. Both the scientific and patent literature were analyzed, starting from the year 2000, and we highlight promising results as well as the current pitfalls and limitations of this approach.
