Abstract
The pharmaceutical industry is struggling with a lack of potential drugs in the pipe line. However, there is still a great opportunity to elaborate interesting scaffolds for medicinal chemistry. Various scaffolds that hold promise are not (or little) studied or are not (or only a few times) described in literature. For the last couple of decades, a wide range of biological activities of benzodiazepine derivatives have been investigated thoroughly and have made the benzodiazepine scaffold, particularly the 1,4-benzodiazepine system, one of the most important structures for drug discovery. The substantial research on benzodiazepines has led to the synthesis of heterocycle-fused azepine derivatives with potentially new pharmacological activity. Some pyridoazepines are known to be active in the central nervous system and have a comparable activity to the well-known benzodiazepine scaffolds, which make the synthesis and the study of pyridoazepines an important research topic.
Keywords: Fused-ring system, nitrogen heterocycles, pyrido[2, 3-]azepines, pyrido[3, 4-]azepines, ring construction, synthesis design.

Chalcogen-modified nucleic acid analogues
Chalcogen-modified nucleosides, nucleotides and oligonucleotides have been of great interest to scientific research for many years. The replacement of oxygen in the nucleobase, sugar or phosphate backbone by chalcogen atoms (sulfur, selenium, tellurium) gives these biomolecules unique properties resulting from their altered physical and chemical properties. The continuing interest in ...read more
