The use of azepane as a scaffold for drug discovery remains of interest. The azepane linker is the key to efficient activity. A number of seven-membered ring derivatives have been prepared or investigated for their potential or actual pharmacological properties. Examples include azaalkane derivatives as PKB (protein kinase B) inhibitors.
The pyrazolopyrazine ring system is a very interesting class of heterocyclic compounds considered as important scaffolds for many effective bioactive agents with low toxicity, antioxidant, anticonvulsant, antiparasitic, anti-inflammatory, antiviral, antibacterial, anti- Fungal and analgesic activity.
