Abstract
The imidazo[1,2-a]pyridine scaffold is recognized as a privileged structure as it represents a promising area for identification of lead structures towards the discovery of new synthetic drug molecules. Several commercial drugs such as Zolpidem, Olprinone, Soraprazan and many other compounds in biological testing and preclinical evaluation, illustrate the wide therapeutic spectrum in this class of drug scaffolds. The present manuscript represents the assimilation of literature pertaining to medicinal aspects of this pharmacophore including the structure-activity relationships.
Keywords: Imidazo[1, 2-a]pyridine, SAR, Groebke-Blackburn-Bienayme reaction, Ugi Type, Multicomponent Reaction, N-fused imidazole.

Chemistry Based on Natural Products for Therapeutic Purposes
The development of new pharmaceuticals for a wide range of medical conditions has long relied on the identification of promising natural products (NPs). There are over sixty percent of cancer, infectious illness, and CNS disease medications that include an NP pharmacophore, according to the Food and Drug Administration. Since NP ...read more
Current Trends in Drug Discovery Based on Artificial Intelligence and Computer-Aided Drug Design
Drug development discovery has faced several challenges over the years. In fact, the evolution of classical approaches to modern methods using computational methods, or Computer-Aided Drug Design (CADD), has shown promising and essential results in any drug discovery campaign. Among these methods, molecular docking is one of the most notable ...read more

From Biodiversity to Chemical Diversity: Focus of Flavonoids
Flavonoids are the largest group of polyphenols, plant secondary metabolites arising from the essential aromatic amino acid phenylalanine (or more rarely from tyrosine) via the phenylpropanoid pathway. The flavan nucleus is the basic 15-carbon skeleton of flavonoids (C6-C3-C6), which consists of two phenyl rings (A and B) and a heterocyclic ...read more
