ABSTRACT:

Pyridine is a planer Six-member heterocyclic ring with 5C and 1N atom and in ring N is present in 1st and positions. The Pyridine ring is a constituent of several important natural products, including niconine, nicotine, and nucleic acid. Being a polar and ionisable aromatic compound, it improves pharmacokinetic characteristics of lead molecules and thus used as a remedy to optimize solubility and bioavailability parameters of proposed poorly soluble lead molecules. Pyridine derivatives have occupied a unique place in the field of medicinal chemistry. The incorporation of the pyridine nucleus is an important synthetic strategy in drug discovery. The high therapeutic properties of the Pyridine related drugs have encouraged the medicinal chemists to synthesize a larger number of novel chemotherapeutic agents. Pyridine drugs have broadened scope in remedying various dispositions in Clinical medicines. Numerous methods for the synthesis of Pyridine and also their various structure reactions offer enormous scope in the field of medicinal chemistry. This articles aims to review the work reported, their chemistry and biological activities of Pyridine during past years.

 

KEYWORDS:

 


INTRODUCTION:

Medicinal chemistry is the discipline concerned with determing the influence of chemical structure on biological activity and in the practice of medicinal chemistry developed from an empirical one involving organic synthesis of new compound based largely on the modification of structure and then identifies their biological activity. Medicinal chemistry concerns with the discovery, development, interpretation and the identification of mechanism of action of biologically active compounds at the molecular level. Various biologically active synthetic compounds have Six-membered nitrogen containing heterocyclic ring in their structures. Structural frameworks have been described as privileged structures and in particular, N containing polycyclic structures has been reported to be associated with a wide range of biological activity. In the field of six membered heterocyclic structures Pyridine nucleus shows various properties. The high therapeutic properties of the Pyridine related drugs have encouraged the medicinal chemists to synthesize a large number of novel chemotherapeutic agents.

 

Pyridine drugs have broadened scope in remedying various dispositions in clinical medicines. Medicinal properties of Pyridine include anti hypertensive, anti histaminics, anticoagulants, anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, antifungal, antiviral, ant tubercular, ant diabetic and ant malarial. Some Pyridine drugs, at high concentrations, could exert direct inhibitory action on membranes, without interference with sterols and sterol esters. Infectious microbial disease causes worldwide problem, because microbes have resisted prophylaxis or therapy longer than any other form of life. In recent decades, problems of multidrug-resistant microorganisms have reached an alarming level in many countries around the world. Resistance of anti-microbial agents such as β-lactam antibiotics, macrolides, quinolones and vancomycin etc. and different species of bacteria causes increased important global problem. Pyridine and its derivatives are reported to be physiologically and pharmacologically active and find applications in the treatment of several diseases.

 

Structure and pharmacological activities:

Pyridines are well known heterocyclic compounds which are common and have important feature of a variety of medicinal agents. Pyridine is a 6-membered planar ring, which is soluble in water and other polar solvents. It exists in two equivalent tautomeric forms because the hydrogen atom can be located on either of the two nitrogen atoms. It is a highly polar compound, as evidenced by a calculated dipole of 3.61D, and is entirely soluble in water. The compound is classified as aromatic due to the presence of a sextet of -electrons, consisting of a pair of electrons from the protonated nitrogen atom and one from each of the remaining four atoms of the ring. Imidazole is amphoteric, i.e. it can function as both an acid and as a base. On the basis of various literature surveys Imidazole derivatives shows various pharmacological activities

CONCLUSON:

The reviewed pyridine moiety has shown a wide spectrum of biological activities. The various substituted pyridine and are having significant antifungal activity. Significant, antiviral and anti asthmatic activity is displayed by some effective substituted pyridine derivative which presently leading drug in the market in entire. some modified pyridine  are found to to be effective as anti-hypertensive, whereas some of the derivatives of pyridine are found to show the anti-asthmatic, anti;viral as special anti HIV action. Recently it was proven that, some of the important marketed pyridine nucleous containing drug having different biological or pharmacological activity were discussed in table. The pyridine  nucleolus based pharmaceutical are rapidly becoming very important class of therapeutic agents and are likely to replace many existing organic based pharmaceuticals in the very near future. The pyridine based pharmaceuticals will be produced on a large scale by modern drug Discovery Company by different research development processes and will become available commercially for therapeutic use. With the key benefits including favorable time to market and high rate of success in clinical trial compared with traditional pharmaceuticals due to diverse biological action with less toxicity, so in future therapeutic indole drug will play a pivotal role in the treatment of different diseases. The biological profiles of this new generation of pyridine represent much progress with regard to the older compounds.
