Abstract
AbstractThe molecular hybridization of different compounds with known pharmacological activity is a particularly prominent approach for the design of potential drugs with improved pharmacokinetic profiles. Much attention over the last decade has been focused on the synthesis of hybrid structures with a nitric oxide (NO)‐donor framework, as NO is a ubiquitous and crucial regulator of cellular metabolism, affecting various physiological and pathophysiological processes. 1,2,5‐Oxadiazole 2‐oxides (furoxans), which are capable of exogenous NO release in the presence of thiol cofactors, are an important class of prospective NO donors. As such, a wide range of hybrid compounds that combine a furoxan ring with various pharmacologically active structures have been created. This review focuses on recent results in the synthesis and pharmacological activity of furoxan‐based hybrids. Special attention is given to chemo‐ and regioselective methods used in the preparation of these hybrid structures, and the role of synergistic effects on their pharmacological activity, associated with the furoxan fragment.
