“…3 These compounds are the core of many strategic and widely used drugs that have received excellent feedback in the medical and the chemical field as efflux pumps Inhibitors A, 4 GABA-A receptors (RWJ-16979) B, 5 adrenoreceptors C, 6 RWJ-51204 D, 7 and fluorescence microscopy E. 8 Also, these compounds have biological properties such as anxiolytic agents, 5 anticonvulsive, 9 antimicrobial, 10 relaxant agents, 5 as cell proliferation inhibitors or quadruplex nucleotide stabilizers in DNA, 11 anticancer, 12 antimalarial agents, 13 and human estrogenic receptor activators (Figure 1). 14 Because the benzo [4,5]imidazo [1,2-a]pyridine scaffold show interesting biological activities, the synthesis of this group of compounds has been realised via several routes, including cycloaddition reactions, 6,9,15 condensation reactions, [16][17][18] multicomponent reactions, 10,[19][20][21][22][23] and multistep approaches. 5,[24][25][26] Also, metallic and non-metallic catalysts, [27][28][29][30] microwave irradiation, 31 and a series of transition metal catalysts have been used for the preparation of these compounds.…”
