Abstract:
This collection of studies summarizes findings from various investigations into pyridine nuclei and their potential as anticancer agents. Understanding the role of pyridine-containing compounds in the development of effective anticancer drugs requires a thorough examination of their Structure-Activity Relationship (SAR). The structural diversity and key biological targets of pyridine derivatives have generated considerable interest. By presenting significant discoveries from multiple studies, this compilation aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the SAR principles that influence the anticancer activity of pyridine-based compounds. Through a detailed analysis of the SAR, we highlight the essential structural features that affect the anticancer efficacy of these derivatives. A key focus of this paper is the development of quantitative SAR models to predict the anticancer activity of novel pyridine analogues. Additionally, it includes the most recent data on the most active and potent derivatives, as well as the targeted cell lines.
