Abstract
Nitrogen heterocycles are ubiquitous, found in a wide range of natural products, pharmaceuticals, and industrial chemicals. Inspired by the ingenuity of nitrogen heterocycles in nature, the facile and efficient synthesis of heterocycles requires considerable attention from the investigator. Recently, the application of enzymes has been explored for the synthesis of a wide range of chemicals, natural products, synthetic building blocks, and bioactive agents. This review summarizes the latest reports on the enzyme-triggered reaction for the green synthesis of various five-membered nitrogen heterocycles, including pyrrole, pyrazole, imidazole, triazole, and tetrazole, between 2005 and 2025. Additionally, the role of enzyme catalysis in the development of various therapeutic agents has been highlighted, encompassing the latest updates.
期刊介绍:
Early dissemination of important findings from Asia which may lead to new concepts in catalyst design is the main aim of this journal. Rapid, invited, short reviews and perspectives from academia and industry will constitute the major part of Catalysis Surveys from Asia . Surveys of recent progress and activities in catalytic science and technology and related areas in Asia will be covered regularly as well. We would appreciate critical comments from colleagues throughout the world about articles in Catalysis Surveys from Asia . If requested and thought appropriate, the comments will be included in the journal. We will be very happy if this journal stimulates global communication between scientists and engineers in the world of catalysis.
