Pyrimidines: A New Versatile Molecule in the Drug Development Field, Scope, and Future Aspects

Abstract

Pyrimidine is a moiety that occurs in living organisms and has a variety of significant biological properties in pharmacology. Due to the easy handling of synthesis, easily available precursor, and less duration for the reaction, for the synthesis, not many technical skills are needed. All these factors attract chemists to focus more on pyrimidines. Apart from the synthesis of biological applications of pyrimidines, medicinal chemists have gathered to explore more pyrimidine scaffolds due to their interesting medicinal properties and easy targeting of various binding sites. This review delves into the diverse biological activities of compounds derived from pyrimidine during the year 2024. We have attempted to explore the growing significance of pyrimidine derivatives and provide a new path for designing new potent molecules.
