Abstract
Deuterated drugs, which are derived from the subtle exchange of a protium atom with a deuterium atom in drug molecules, exhibit significant differences in pharmaceutical characteristics compared to their parent drugs. With the advantages of improving pharmacokinetic properties, reducing toxicity, inhibiting the interconversion between chiral drugs and restricting drug interactions, deuterated drugs have attracted widespread attention from medicinal chemists. This review highlights the application of deuteration strategies in drug design, summarizing the progress of all deuterated drugs available in the market or still under investigation to provide a reference for all researchers engaged deuterated drug development.
期刊介绍:
Quality research. Outstanding publications. With an impact factor of 3.124 (2019), ChemMedChem is a top journal for research at the interface of chemistry, biology and medicine. It is published on behalf of Chemistry Europe, an association of 16 European chemical societies.
ChemMedChem publishes primary as well as critical secondary and tertiary information from authors across and for the world. Its mission is to integrate the wide and flourishing field of medicinal and pharmaceutical sciences, ranging from drug design and discovery to drug development and delivery, from molecular modeling to combinatorial chemistry, from target validation to lead generation and ADMET studies. ChemMedChem typically covers topics on small molecules, therapeutic macromolecules, peptides, peptidomimetics, and aptamers, protein-drug conjugates, nucleic acid therapies, and beginning 2017, nanomedicine, particularly 1) targeted nanodelivery, 2) theranostic nanoparticles, and 3) nanodrugs.
