Building Blocks

Although the tetrazole fragment has not been found in natural sources, it has attracted a lot of attention on account of a wide spectrum of biological activities and unique material properties exhibited by numerous tetrazole derivatives.

Imidazole is the key subunit in many natural compounds, marketed drugs, and synthetic materials. The applications of imidazoles in medicine are demonstrated by many commercialized drugs.

Derivatives of 1,2,4-triazole have been actively used for the preparation of numerous biologically active substances and functional materials. At Life Chemicals, we have developed a proprietary collection of functionalized 1,2,4-triazoles that are promising reagents for the synthesis of new biologically potent or functional compounds.

A number of the 1,3,4-oxadiazoles have shown a very broad spectrum of biological activity: anti-cancer activity, inhibitors of various enzymes, herbicides, antifungal activity.

Derivatives of 1,3,4-thiadiazoles possess a wide spectrum of biological activity and have found numerous applications in medicine, agriculture, and materials technology.
