Acridine: a versatile heterocyclic nucleus.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Acridine is a heterocyclic nucleus. It plays an important role in various medicines. A number of therapeutic agents are based on acridine nucleus such as quinacrine (antimalarial), acriflavine and proflavine (antiseptics), ethacridine (abortifacient), amsacrine and nitracine (anticancer), and tacrine. Acridine is obtained from high boiling fraction of coal tar. It is also obtained in nature from plant and marine sources. Acridine undergoes a number of reactions such as nucleophilic addition, electrophilic substitution, oxidation, reduction, reductive alkylation and photoalkylation. The present review article summarizes the synthesis, reaction, literature review and pharmaceutical importance of acridine.

Biological Importance of the Indole Nucleus in Recent Years: A Comprehensive Review
Heterocyclic compounds are those cyclic compounds in which one or more of the ring carbons are replaced by another atom. The non-carbon atoms in such rings are referred to as ‘‘heteroatoms.’’ Such bicyclic heterocyclic compounds containing pyrrole ring with benzene ring fused to a,b-position are known as Indoles. Indole has a benzene ring and pyrrole ring sharing one double bond. It is a hetero...
متن کاملThe ability to overcome multidrug resistance of tumor cell lines by novel acridine cytostatics with condensed heterocyclic rings.
Two recently synthesized groups of acridine cytostatics containing fused heterocyclic ring(s): pyrazoloacridines (PAC) and pyrazolopyrimidoacridines (PPAC) were tested in regard to their in vitro cytotoxic activity towards a panel of sensitive and resistant human tumor cell lines. The obtained results corroborate our earlier hypothesis on the essential role of heterocyclic ring fused to the acr...

The chemistry of heterocyclic compounds has been an interesting field of study for a long time. Heterocyclic nucleus 1,3,4-thiadiazole constitutes an important class of compounds for new drug development. The synthesis of novel thiadiazole derivatives and investigation of their chemical and biological behavior have gained more importance in recent decades. The search for antiepileptic compounds...
متن کاملTethered N-heterocyclic carbene-carboranes: unique ligands that exhibit unprecedented and versatile coordination modes at rhodium.
Four brand new hybrid ligands combining an N-heterocyclic carbene tethered with two isomeric nido-dicarbaundecaborane dianions, a neutral closo-dicarbadodecaborane or a closo-dicarbadodecaborane anion are described. Versatile coordination of the ligands to Rh(I) is demonstrated, in which both NHC and carborane moieties covalently coordinate a metal centre.
