Scanlon, James J. and Wren, Stephen (2020) Unearthing novel thiazolidinone building blocks as carboxylic acid bioisosteres. Future Medicinal Chemistry, 12(20), pp. 1855-1864. ISSN (print) 1756-8919

Abstract

Aim: Thiazolidinones were prepared as building blocks for the replacement of carboxylic acids. Materials & methods: Chemical syntheses of thiazolidinones were developed. In addition, the drug-likeness of the target compounds was evaluated in silico. Results: The prepared compounds included the novel structure 4; 5-(3-Iodophenylmethylene)-2,4-thiazolidinedione. Conclusion: Exploration of the methods required to synthesize thiazolidinone building blocks was completed. This work allows future generation of bioisosteric analogs of drugs.
