Abstract
ABSTRACTThe syntheses and bioevaluation of 3‐acyl‐2‐pyridones have garnered significant interest in recent years as a novel class of compounds with diverse biological activities. The bioactivities cover a wide range of therapeutic areas including antimicrobial, antitumor, anti‐inflammatory, antifungal, antibiotic, neuritogenic, cytotoxic, and antiviral activities. Therefore, 3‐acyl‐2‐pyridone scaffold offers a versatile platform for the development of new molecules with potential applications in medicinal chemistry. The recent exploration on synthesis and bioevaluation of 3‐acyl‐2‐pyridones has yielded promising results, making them attractive targets for further optimization and development of new therapeutic agents. This review summarizes the available information on total synthesis of 3‐acyl‐2‐pyridone containing natural products, and the other synthetic strategies developed for accessing the 3‐acyl pyridones such as multicomponent synthesis, condensation reaction, microwave‐assisted synthesis, catalytic hydrogenation reactions, metalation reaction, Michael addition, and formylation reactions. The presented information may serve as a valuable resource for researchers working in the field of medicinal chemistry and drug discovery, stimulating further exploration and development of this intriguing scaffold.
