Thieno[23-b]pyridines

Thieno[23-b]pyridines constitute a valuable class of heterocyclic compounds because of their diverse biological activity which includes anticancer antiviral anti-inflammatory antidiabetic antimicrobial anti-hypertensive anti-Alzheimer osteogenic CNS disorders treatment and other miscellaneous activities. Thieno[23-b]pyridines have also been reported as inhibitors of many enzymes and multidrug resistance modulators. Therefore the goal of this review is to provide information about this significant heterocycle such as synthesis reactions and demonstration of compounds with strong biological activity that may serve as lead structures.
