“…Among the privileged core motifs, the naturally occurring heterocycle uracil (compound 1 , Figure 1) occupies a preeminent position, due to its innate chemical structure—a stable six‐membered 2,4‐pyrimidindione ring with a prevalence of the lactam tautomeric form—responsible for it to establish key gene‐related H‐bond connections [3] . In addition, uracil has proven to be extremely inclined toward chemical modification, especially at the N1, N3, C5, and C6 positions [4] . Accordingly, a wide array of uracil‐based molecules has been accessed so far, exhibiting as many diverse biological activities ranging from antiviral and anti‐tumor to herbicidal, bactericidal, and anti‐malarial action, as testified by the outstanding number of uracil‐founded drugs approved worldwide (Figure 1).…”
