Synthetic and Pharmacological Expedition of Pyrazolo[1,5-a]pyridine: A Comprehensive Review

Abstract

Fused nitrogen-containing heterocyclic compounds have been identified to display a prominent role in medicinal chemistry, biochemistry, and other streams of science. Countless derivatives of pyrazolo[1,5-a] pyridine have been investigated by researchers for their distinct pharmacological characterization. In this article, we have revealed and arranged the various routes of synthesis and therapeutic activities such as dopamine binding affinity, kinase inhibitory activity, and PDE inhibitors of pyrazolo[1,5-a]pyridine-containing compounds which have been explored till now. The remarkable outcomes obtained via in vitro as well as in vivo profile screening of this moiety and its derivatives lead this scaffold to be recognized to a greater extent and examined further for better results. This review will give medicinal chemists a flying-bird eye catch view of pyrazolo[1,5-a] pyridine derivatives which will help them to design and synthesize potential compounds bearing this moiety.
