Abstract
This review summarizes the importance and recent discoveries of the use of adamantane derivatives in Medicinal Chemistry. We have organized the article in 4 sections: 1) Absorption, Distribution, Metabolism, or Excretion (ADME) properties 2) Hydrophobic Effects 3) Ion Channels and 4) Rigid scaffold. Within each section, we have provided examples of how the adamantane group changes the properties of known drugs or provides a important pharmacophore for the design of new drugs.

Chalcogen-modified nucleic acid analogues
Chalcogen-modified nucleosides, nucleotides and oligonucleotides have been of great interest to scientific research for many years. The replacement of oxygen in the nucleobase, sugar or phosphate backbone by chalcogen atoms (sulfur, selenium, tellurium) gives these biomolecules unique properties resulting from their altered physical and chemical properties. The continuing interest in ...read more
