Abstract

Thiophene and its substituted derivatives are very important class of heterocyclic compounds which shows interesting applications in the field of medicinal chemistry. It has made an indispensable anchor for medicinal chemists to produce combinatorial library and carry out exhaustive efforts in the search of lead molecules. It has been reported to possess a wide range of therapeutic properties with diverse applications in medicinal chemistry and material science, attracting great interest in industry as well as academia. It has been proven to be effectual drugs in present respective disease scenario. They are remarkably effective compounds both with respect to their biological and physiological functions such as anti-inflammatory, anti-psychotic, anti-arrhythmic, anti-anxiety, anti-fungal, antioxidant, estrogen receptor modulating, anti-mitotic, anti-microbial, kinases inhibiting and anti-cancer. Thus the synthesis and characterization of novel thiophene moieties with wider therapeutic activity is a topic of interest for the medicinal chemist to synthesize and investigate new structural prototypes with more effective pharmacological activity. However, several commercially available drugs such as Tipepidine, Tiquizium Bromides, Timepidium Bromide, Dorzolamide, Tioconazole, Citizolam, Sertaconazole Nitrate and Benocyclidine also contain thiophene nucleus. Therefore, it seems to be a requirement to collect recent information in order to understand the current status of the thiophene nucleus in medicinal chemistry research.
