Fluorine is the most electronegative element in the periodic table, and the fluorine atom has a small atomic radius, so fluorine-containing organic compounds have many wonderful properties. For example, the introduction of fluorine atoms or fluorine-containing groups into drug molecules can improve the permeability to cell membranes, metabolic stability and bioavailability; in addition, the introduction of fluorine atoms will improve the lipid solubility of the compound and promote its absorption in the body. The speed of delivery changes the physiological effect. In the field of medicinal chemistry, the introduction of fluorine atoms into organic molecules is an important direction for the development of new anticancer drugs, antitumor drugs, antiviral agents, anti-inflammatory drugs, and central nervous system drugs.
Tetrazoles are doubly unsaturated five-membered aromatic heterocycles consisting of one carbon atom and four nitrogen atoms. Tetrazole derivatives are a major class of heterocyclic compounds that are important for medicinal chemistry and drug design because of their not only isosteric properties with carboxylic acid and amide moieties, but also metabolic stability and other beneficial physicochemical properties.
