Published in: Future medicinal chemistry (2023)
Propargylamine is a chemical moiety whose properties have made it a widely distributed group within the fields of medicinal chemistry and chemical biology. Its particular reactivity has traditionally popularized the preparation of propargylamine derivatives using a large variety of synthetic strategies, which have facilitated the access to these compounds for the study of their biomedical potential. This review comprehensively covers and analyzes the applications that propargylamine-based derivatives have achieved in the drug discovery field, both from a medicinal chemistry perspective and from a chemical biology-oriented approach. The principal therapeutic fields where propargylamine-based compounds have made an impact are identified, and a discussion of their influence and growing potential is included.
