Tetrazole

Tetrazole is a five-membered aromatic ring composed of one carbon atom and four nitrogen atoms. Although not found in nature, this unique, nitrogen-rich ring has become immensely important in medicinal chemistry. The tetrazole group is often used as a bioisostere—a metabolically stable substitute—for a carboxylic acid group. This substitution can improve a drug's potency and pharmacokinetic properties. This strategy is famously used in the design of the "sartan" class of antihypertensive drugs, such as losartan and irbesartan, which are widely prescribed to treat high blood pressure. Tetrazole derivatives are also explored as potential anti-inflammatory and anticancer agents. Explore searchable catalogue of hundreds of molecules, including details on how models were generated.
