Thiophene: Versatile Medicine

Author(s): D. N. Ware and S. Pillai

In the growing world of heterocyclic chemistry, thiophene is one of the most important potential enti-ties.Thiophene containing molecules have significant biological potential. Theinnumerable physicochemical proper-ties and different synthetic pathways of thiophene containing compoundshave drawn the special attention of chem-ists and scientists to carry out comprehensive efforts in searchof new thiophene based molecules. The present re-view includes the properties, synthesis, and a wide spectrum of biologicalactivities of thiophene based scaffolds, and summary of thiophene containingactive pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) available in the market.
