Biologically driven synthesis of pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidines as protein kinase inhibitors: an old scaffold as a new tool for medicinal chemistry and chemical biology studies

Description

Nitrogen-containing heterocycles are widely distributed in nature and essential for life, playing a vital role in the metabolism of all living cells. Among the many nitrogencontaining heterocycles, the pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidine nucleus (Figure 1) is an important drug-like scaffold that is present in many pharmacologically active compounds. This review describes the synthesis of pyrazolo-pyrimidines and their activities as kinase inhibitors.
