Cyclohexane is an organic compound with a chemical formula C6H12. It is a colorless liquid with a pungent odor, insoluble in water, and soluble in most organic solvents such as ethanol, ether, benzene, and acetone. Cyclohexyl fragments are a common structure in both natural and synthetic drugs. It can be used as both core structure and part of achiral side chain.
Naphthyridine is a class of aromatic heterocyclic compounds whose chemical formula is C8H6N2. They consist of naphthalene bicyclic rings in which two carbon atoms are replaced by nitrogen atoms. There are ten isomers of naphthyridine, because naphthyridine has two benzene rings, has strong π-π conjugation, and has better luminescence properties. Common naphthyridines are 1,8-naphthyridines. There are many kinds of 1,8-naphthyridine derivatives, and they are widely used.
