About half of the drugs currently produced are chiral compounds, and about 90 % these compounds sold as racemates, consisting an equimolar mixture two enantiomers. Although they have same chemical structure, most optical isomers substances show marked differences in biological activity. It is known that presence a single asymmetric atom has become almost integral part advanced drug design. The ...

An efficient one-pot synthesis of 2-thioxopyrimido[4,5-b]quinoline 3a,b has been accomplished from a three-component reaction of 6-aminothiouracil, cyclohexanone and aromatic aldehyde under microwave irradiation. Compound 3a,b was used as a key intermediate for the synthesis of Sand C-nucleoside analogs of types, 5-(4-fluorophenyl / 4-anisyl)-2-S-(-D-ribofuranosyl / arabinofuranosyl)-6,7,8,9-t...
