Abstract

Cyclic structures are encountered in the core of most bioactive synthetic and natural products. Carbo-and heterocyclic rings give rigidity to molecules, thus fixing the spatial arrangement of the functional groups. As a result, specific interactions with biomolecules without important entropy costs become possible. Nitrogen-based functional groups are especially important in synthetic and medicinal chemistry. In this respect, ...
