“…Among the heterocyclic compounds, pyridine and their analogues are the most prevalent structural units due to their wide spectrum of applications (Song, Huang, Yi, & Zhang, ), in natural products (Michael, ), pharmaceutical (Baumann & Baxendale, ; Vitaku, Smith, & Njardarson, ), agrochemical (Guan, Liu, Sun, & Xie, ) and material science (Desimoni, Faita, & Quadrelli, ; Gillissen et al., ). Many of the fused pyridine compounds have been proven as valuable candidates possessing anti‐bacterial (Elagamey, Sattar, El‐Taweel, & Said, ), anti‐fungal (Hanafy, ), anti‐microbial (Paresh & Yogesh, ), anti‐oxidant (Farghaly, Abass, Abdalla, & Mahgoub, ; Flefel et al., ), anti‐cancer (Bladt, Frisvad, Knudsen, & Larsen, ; Naresh Kumar et al., ), anti‐psychotic (Swain et al., ), anti‐inflammatory (Hend, At‐Allah, A‐Rahman, & El‐Gazza, ; Piero & Lucio, ), anti‐leishmanial (Samai, Nandi, Chowdhury, & Singh, ), anti‐viral (Tai et al., ), anti‐hypersensitive (Smith et al., ), anti‐convulsants (Kaminski, Obniska, Zagorska, & Maciag, ), anti‐malarial (Davoll, Clarke, & Elslage, ), potassium channel openers (Gadwood et al., ), anti‐diabetic (Sarges, Bordner, Dominy, Peterson, & Whipple, ) and anti‐tumour activities (Mohamed & Giuseppe, ). A few of previously reported bio‐active fused compounds ( A–D ) were represented in Figure .…”
