Building Blocks

In view of a high relevance of the naphthalene moiety in drug discovery and materials development, Life Chemicals designed novel naphthalene-based building blocks with controllable substitution patterns and variable functional groups.

Mono-, di-, tri-, tetra-, and penta-halogenated benzene rings are substructures of numerous approved and experimental drugs, agrochemicals and natural products. The halogenated compounds generally have higher biological activity and membrane permeability compared to their non-halogenated congeners.
