A COMPREHENSIVE UPDATE ON PYRIMIDINE, COUMARIN AND BENZIMIDAZOLE (PCB)-VERSATILE ANALOGS WITH BIOLOGICAL POTENCY
AbstractAll three versatile heterocyclic compounds (PCB) are majorly contributing to the field of medicine due to their unique medicinal activities like antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, anticancer, antioxidant, analgesic, anti-diabetic, anti-viral, anti-ulcer, anti-HIV, and as an anti-protozoal agent (Fig. 1). Many novel PCB analogs are already being used commercially as medicines. Further, the structure-activity relationship and the recent medicinal significance of all three (pyrimidine, coumarin, and benzimidazole) derivatives were discussed. Finally, this comprehensive update may attract synthetic chemists and biologists for further design and development of a novel molecule.
