Silapharmaka

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Silapharmaka are silicon analogues of drugs in which one (sometimes several) carbon atom has been replaced by a silicon atom. Silapharmaka are so isosteric to their corresponding drugs.

The drug pridinol (X = C) and the silapharmacon sila-pridinol (X = Si)

One example is the ( R ) -Sila-venlafaxine, which isoelectronic with ( R ) - venlafaxine is, but has no activity at the SERT, this preserves the NAT and antiemetic effect. A number of other examples of silapharmaceuticals can be found in the scientific literature. The concept of the development and investigation of Silipharmaka by Reinhold Tacke (* 1949) et al. examined at the Technical University of Braunschweig.
