Quinoxalines, also known as benzopyrazines, are heterocyclic compounds containing a ring complex consisting of a benzene ring and a pyrazine ring. It has isomerism with other naphthalene compounds such as quinazoline, phthalazine, cinnamine, etc. Fusion N-heterocyclic compounds are widely used as valuable entities for the expansion of important pharmacological agents and are considered to be an advantageous scaffold material. Among the numerous fused N-heterocyclic compounds, cinnoline, quinoxaline and quinazoline are important pharmacological agents. In medicinal chemistry, these N-heterocyclic compounds have a wide range of biological properties and can be used as synthetic intermediates, potential drug candidates and chemical probes.
In addition to the nitrogen-based heterocycles presented so far, a number of others nitrogen-based scaffolds have also been reported as promising agents for GBM treatment, including pyrazolo-triazole, imidazotetrazine, piperidine, purine, imidazopyrazine, pyrazole, triazole among others.
