Syntezy, struktury i aktywność biologiczna pochodnych imidazo[4,5-b] pirydyny. Część II

The main goal of this article is to present selected syntheses, structures and a various biological activity of imidazo[4,5-b]pyridine derivatives. During the past 20 years the biological activity of imidazo[4,5-b]pyridine have been intensively studied. Based on the review of the chemical literature, it was shown that derivatives of imidazole[4,5-b]pyridine showed a multipharmacological effects such as antibacterial effect [20–22] and antituberculotic activity [25–33], nonsteroidal antiinflammatory activity [35–43] and analgesic [44, 45] effect. Among compounds of this class antagonists of angiotensin II receptors that exhibit hypotensive activity are also known [9–11]. Compounds containing imidazo[4,5-b]pyridine moiety can be synthesized from different substrates. The most useful starting compounds for the synthesis of imidazo[4,5-b]pyridine are derivatives of 2,3-diaminopyridine [1–3].
