Abstract

Aminopyridines are among the classes of heterocyclic compounds that have been extensively studied in the last few decades owing to their interesting biological activities. They exist in three isomeric forms: 2-aminopyridine, 3-aminopyridine and 4-aminopyridine. The diversity in their pharmacological activities has attracted the attention of many researchers to explore the reasons for their wide potential. This study examines recent advances related to the efficient procedure for synthesizing different types of aminopyridine derivatives, its coordination site with metals and biological activities using systematic literature review and content analysis. Other important concepts of aminopyridines discussed are basicity, electric hindrance as related to percentage yield of isomeric forms and spectra updates on the characterization of aminopyridines. The findings from this study also reveal the array of solvents used for purification processes; ideas on isomers that have not been used in the synthesis of aminopyridine derivatives and their respective biological activities. The significance of this study is on the various synthetic methods revealed, which may be helpful to the development of newer compounds with aminopyridines moieties that could offer high bioactivity and lesser toxicity.

AB  - Aminopyridines are among the classes of heterocyclic compounds that have been extensively studied in the last few decades owing to their interesting biological activities. They exist in three isomeric forms: 2-aminopyridine, 3-aminopyridine and 4-aminopyridine. The diversity in their pharmacological activities has attracted the attention of many researchers to explore the reasons for their wide potential. This study examines recent advances related to the efficient procedure for synthesizing different types of aminopyridine derivatives, its coordination site with metals and biological activities using systematic literature review and content analysis. Other important concepts of aminopyridines discussed are basicity, electric hindrance as related to percentage yield of isomeric forms and spectra updates on the characterization of aminopyridines. The findings from this study also reveal the array of solvents used for purification processes; ideas on isomers that have not been used in the synthesis of aminopyridine derivatives and their respective biological activities. The significance of this study is on the various synthetic methods revealed, which may be helpful to the development of newer compounds with aminopyridines moieties that could offer high bioactivity and lesser toxicity.
