Over the past few years, many pyrazole fused-ring systems, especially with applications in medicinal chemistry, have been published. These include general structures such as pyrazoline, pyrazoline, pyrazoquinoline, pyrazoloisoquinoline, pyrazoline, pyrazolopyrazine, pyrazolopyrazine, pyranopyrazole, pyrano Pyrazoles, pyrazolotriazines and pyrazole fused phosphorus rings.
Compared to quinolines, isoquinolines are also prominent structural motifs present in many biologically significant natural and synthetic compounds. Some well-known isoquinoline alkaloids include the anticancer and anticonvulsant berberine, the vasodilator and antispasmodic drugs papaverine and emetine. In addition to naturally occurring isoquinolines, synthetic analogs have also shown significant biological activity.
