Abstract
Background: Regarding scientific research, Imidazo[1,2-a] pyridine derivatives are constantly being developed due to the scaffold’s intriguing chemical structure and varied biological activity. They are distinctive organic nitrogen-bridged heterocyclic compounds that have several uses in medicines, organometallics and natural products. It has become a vital tool for medicinal chemists.
Methods: In order to gather scientific information on Imidazo[1,2-a] pyridines derivative, Google, PubMed, Scopus, Google Scholar, and other databases were searched. In the current study, the medicinal value and therapeutic effect of Imidazo[1,2-a] pyridines were investigated using above mentioned databases. The current study analyzed the detailed pharmacological activities of Imidazo[1,2-a] pyridine analogs through literature from diverse scientific research works.
Results: Due to its wide range of biological activities, including antiulcer, anticonvulsant, antiprotozoal, anthelmintic, antiepileptic, antifungal, antibacterial, analgesic, antiviral, anticancer, anti-inflammatory, antituberculosis, and antitumor properties, imidazopyridine is one of the most significant structural skeletons in the field of natural and pharmaceutical products. An imidazopyridine scaffold serves as the basis for a number of therapeutically utilized medications, including zolpidem, alpidem, olprinone, zolimidine, and necopidem.
Conclusion: This comprehensive study covers the period of the last five years, and it sheds light on the developments and emerging pharmacological actions of Imidazo[1,2-a] pyridines. Additionally, the structure-activity relationship and molecular docking studies are carefully documented throughout the paper, providing medicinal chemists with a clear picture for developing new drugs.
