Innovative Medicine: Azole-based Heterocyclic Derivatives.

Scene 2 (8s)

[Audio] Azoles are heterocyclic derivatives with a 5-membered ring composed of nitrogen and one or more other non-carbon atoms, such as oxygen or sulfur. These molecules offer a range of properties that make them effective elements when creating drugs, agrochemicals and materials with distinct functions and characteristics. Moreover, scientists can modify the properties of azoles by strategically selecting the position of heteroatoms and substituents..

Scene 3 (38s)

[Audio] Azole-based heterocyclic derivatives have long been a mainstay of modern medical treatments. From antifungal therapies to HIV/AIDS and agricultural use, these medications have revolutionized the way diseases are approached. In the future, azole-based compounds are expected to be major players in medical discovery and development..

Scene 4 (1m 2s)

[Audio] Heterocyclic derivatives based on azole are an innovative type of antifungal drug, used in both systemic and topical treatments. They are prescribed to tackle systemic fungal infections like candidiasis, aspergillosis, cryptococcosis and histoplasmosis, as well as topical infections, such as athlete's foot, ringworm and vaginal yeast infections. Azole creams, lotions and powders can be obtained either over-the-counter or with a prescription..

Scene 5 (1m 35s)

[Audio] Azole-based derivatives have a wide range of uses in both the medical and agricultural fields. In medicine, they are commonly used as prophylactic agents for high-risk patients, such as those with HIV/AIDS or those who have undergone organ transplantation, in order to reduce the likelihood of developing opportunistic fungal infections. In agriculture, azole-based fungicides protect crops from fungal diseases and can improve food production. Some of the most common azole fungicides are triadimefon, propiconazole, and tebuconazole..

Scene 6 (2m 14s)

[Audio] Heterocyclic derivatives based on azoles are becoming increasingly attractive as medicines due to their combined therapeutic effects and high safety profiles. Imidazole, triazole and other azole derivatives possess various biological activities, starting with antifungal properties and extending to a wide range of other therapeutic effects. Consequently, they are currently being studied for potential applications in many therapeutic fields, such as oncology, immunology and metabolic diseases..

Scene 7 (2m 48s)

[Audio] Heterocyclic derivatives are compounds that contain multiple ring-like structures bonded together, as seen in the diagram. Due to their advantageous physicochemical qualities, they have become widely used by scientists when creating new medicines. They have the potential to address numerous ailments, including cancer, cardiovascular diseases, and many more..

Scene 8 (3m 13s)

[Audio] Azoles are essential in contemporary medicine, exhibiting interesting and advantageous qualities. Their simple structure, which consists of nitrogen atoms in a ring shape, allows for coordination chemistry, permitting them to create firm linkages with metal ions. Additionally, azoles have a vast range of biological activities, varying from antifungal effects to enzyme impediment, rendering them of tremendous use in medicinal chemistry..
