Abstract:
The emergence of drug resistance has created unmet medical need for the development of new classes of antibiotics. Innovation of new antibacterial agents with new mode of action remains a high priority universally. Triazines are six-membered, nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold with a wide range of pharmaceutical properties such as antibacterial, antifungal, anticancer, antioxidants, antitubercular, antimalarial, anti-HIV, anticonvulsant, anti-inflammatory, antiulcer, and analgesic activities. The present review focuses on the recent developments in the area of medicinal chemistry to discover various chemical structures as potential antimicrobial agents and their structure-activity relationships (SAR) studies are also discussed for further rational design of this kind of derivatives.

Adrenergic Agonists: Chemistry and Structure-Activity Relationship
Aromatic ring substitutions: Substituting the aromatic ring with –OH groups at positions 3 and 4 yields catecholamines (e.g., epinephrine), which have a high affinity for adrenoceptors. Hydrogen bonding between –OH groups and receptors enhances adrenergic activity.
