Click Chemistry: 1,2,3‐Triazoles as Pharmacophores

TLDR
The present review will focus mainly on the recent literature for applications of this reaction in the field of medicinal chemistry, in particular on use of the 1,2,3-triazole moiety as pharmacophore.
Abstract
The copper(I)-catalyzed 1,2,3-triazole-forming reaction between azides and terminal alkynes has become the gold standard of 'click chemistry' due to its reliability, specificity, and biocompatibility. Applications of click chemistry are increasingly found in all aspects of drug discovery; they range from lead finding through combinatorial chemistry and target-templated in vitro chemistry, to proteomics and DNA research by using bioconjugation reactions. The triazole products are more than just passive linkers; they readily associate with biological targets, through hydrogen-bonding and dipole interactions. The present review will focus mainly on the recent literature for applications of this reaction in the field of medicinal chemistry, in particular on use of the 1,2,3-triazole moiety as pharmacophore.

Click chemistry-based synthesis and cytotoxic activity evaluation of 4α-triazole acetate podophyllotoxin derivatives.

TL;DR: In vitro cytotoxic activity evaluation showed that most of the derivatives exhibited potent inhibitory activities against the tested cancer cell lines with low nanomolar IC50 values, and further studies demonstrated that compound 31 exhibited broad‐spectrum cytot toxic activities, effectively overcame drug‐resistance, and showed relatively weak cytotoxicity on non‐cancer cells.

Click Chemistry: Diverse Chemical Function from a Few Good Reactions.

TL;DR: In this paper, a set of powerful, highly reliable, and selective reactions for the rapid synthesis of useful new compounds and combinatorial libraries through heteroatom links (C-X-C), an approach called click chemistry is defined, enabled, and constrained by a handful of nearly perfect "springloaded" reactions.

Peptidotriazoles on solid phase: [1,2,3]-triazoles by regiospecific copper(i)-catalyzed 1,3-dipolar cycloadditions of terminal alkynes to azides.

TL;DR: A novel regiospecific copper(I)-catalyzed 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition of terminal alkynes to azides on solid-phase is reported, and the X-ray structure of 2-azido-2-methylpropanoic acid has been solved, to yield structural information on the 1, 3-dipoles entering the reaction.

Cu-catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition.

TL;DR: The basis for the unique properties and rate enhancement for triazole formation under Cu(1) catalysis should be found in the high ∆G of the reaction in combination with the low character of polarity of the dipole of the noncatalyzed thermal reaction, which leads to a considerable activation barrier.

The growing impact of click chemistry on drug discovery.

TL;DR: The copper-(I)-catalyzed 1,2,3-triazole formation from azides and terminal acetylenes is a particularly powerful linking reaction, due to its high degree of dependability, complete specificity, and the bio-compatibility of the reactants.
