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.
Phthalazine is a heterocyclic compound with the molecular formula C8H6N2 composed of a benzene ring fused with a pyridazine ring. Phthalazine and its derivatives do not exist in nature. Phthalazines are used as starting materials for organic synthesis. Studies have found that phthalazine has a variety of physiological activities, such as anti-cancer, antibacterial, anti-inflammatory and so on. The synthesis of phthalazine compounds with novel structures and better biological activities has become a research hotspot in recent years.
