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.
Isothiazole or 1,2-thiazole is an organic compound containing a five-membered aromatic ring consisting of three carbon atoms, one nitrogen atom and one sulfur atom. In contrast to isomeric thiazoles, the two heteroatoms are in adjacent positions. The ring structure of isothiazoles is incorporated into larger compounds that are biologically active, such as the drugs ziprasidone and piperone. Isothiazoles are an important class of five-membered sulfur heterocyclic compounds that are widely used in medicinal chemistry and organic synthesis due to the unique properties of two electronegative heteroatoms in the 1,2-relationship.
