• -arylpropanoic acids. The interaction of 2-amino-4-arylimidazoles with aromatic aldehydes or isatins and acyclic methylene active compounds has led to the formation of pyrrolo[1,2-c]imidazole-6-carbonitriles, pyrrolo[1,2-с]imidazole-6-carboxylates and spiro[indoline-3,7'-pyrrolo[1,2-c]imidazoles], which can be

• considered as the analogues of both 3,3’-spirooxindole and 2-aminoimidazole marine sponge alkaloids.

• -dihydro analogs are represented only by several substances [33][34]. Partially hydrogenated pyrrolo[1,2-c]imidazole is a part of (±)-axinellamines 11. 4-[(5R)-6,7-Dihydro-5H-pyrrolo[1,2-c]imidazol-5-yl]-3-fluorobenzonitrile (LCI-699, osilodrostat) is considered as an inhibitor of aldosterone synthase
