Triazole refers to a heterocyclic compound with the molecular formula C2H3N3, which has a five-membered ring consisting of two carbon atoms and three nitrogen atoms. Neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's disease and Parkinson's disease already affect many people around the world, and these numbers are increasing rapidly. Treatment for these disorders is often aimed at relieving symptoms and has no cure. Research on new molecules is underway, and heterocyclic compounds have important pharmacological implications. Triazoles and tetrazoles are emerging as new molecules in this field.
Benzodioxanes are a class of isomeric compounds with the molecular formula C8H8O2. The three isomers of benzodioxane are 1,2-benzodioxane, 1,3-benzodioxane and 1,4-benzodioxane. 1,4-Benzodioxane has long been a versatile template widely used to design molecules with diverse biological activities. Its use spans past decades in medicinal chemistry to today, involving many drug discovery strategies, not excluding the most advanced ones. 1,4-Benzodioxane derivatives have been described as agonists and antagonists of nicotinic, alpha-adrenergic and 5-HT receptor subtypes. 1,4-Benzodioxane derivatives have been also reported as antitumor and antibacterial agents.
