During the last twenty years, organic fluorination chemistry established itself as an important tool to get a biologically active compound. This belief can be supported by the fact that every year, we are getting fluorinated drugs in the market in extremely significant numbers. Last year, also ten fluorinated drugs have been approved by FDA and during the COVID-19 pandemic, fluorinated drugs played a very crucial role to control the disease and saved many lives. In this review, we surveyed all ten fluorinated drugs approved by FDA in 2021 and all fluorinated drugs which were directly-indirectly used during the COVID-19 period, and emphasis has been given particularly to their synthesis, medicinal chemistry, and development process. Out of ten approved drugs, one drug pylarify, a radioactive diagnostic agent for cancer was approved for use in positron emission tomography imaging. Also, very briefly outlined the significance of fluorinated drugs through their physical, and chemical properties and their effect on drug development.

“…polyfluorinated methacrylates). [11] A positive side effect of fluorine moieties in supramolecular structures is that they can be imaged with good contrast by cryo-transmission electron microscopy (cryo-TEM) because of their high electron density. Von Berlepsch et al [17] synthesized a series of non-ionic amphiphiles with different dendritic oligoglycerol (G1-G3) head groups and one or two fluorinated alkyl chains connected through spacers of different lengths.…”

Interfaces with Fluorinated Amphiphiles: Superstructures and Microfluidics

This Minireview discusses recent developments in research on the interfacial phenomena of fluorinated amphiphiles, with a focus on applications that exploit the unique and manifold interfacial properties associated with these amphiphiles. Most notably, fluorinated amphiphiles form stable aggregates with often distinctly different morphologies compared to their nonfluorinated counterparts. Consequently, fluorinated surfactants have found wide use in high-performance applications such as microfluidic-assisted screening. Additionally, their fluorine-specific behaviour at solid/liquid interfaces, such as the formation of superhydrophobic coatings after deposition on surfaces, will be discussed. As fluorinated surfactants and perfluorinated materials in general pose potential environmental threats, recent developments in their remediation based on their adsorption onto fluorinated surfaces will be evaluated.

“…Water-soluble polymers with strong foaming properties are of great interest for their potential applications in foams or as surfactants in various fields where environmentally harmful surfactants and additives must be replaced. Traditionally, perfluorinated surfactants, commonly called per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), were applied in many industries as these materials are thermally stable, drastically reduce the surface tension of water, and exhibit excellent foaming properties. − Widespread use has resulted in various PFAS accumulating in the environment and slowly undergoing degradation to more harmful fluorinated species . As a result, extensive studies addressing the characterization and subsequent remediation of PFAS compounds remain a high priority. − …”

Tailoring Amphiphilic Copolymers for Improved Aqueous Foam Stability

Amphiphilic copolymers of various-molecularweight (MW) poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) were synthesized via reversible addition−fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) polymerization. The first PEG series, poly(ethylene glycol)monomethacrylate (PEGMA, average Mn 200 and 400 MW), contained an −OH terminal group, and the second series, poly(ethylene glycol) monomethyl ether monomethacrylate (PEGMMA, average Mn 200, 400, and 1000 MW), possessed an −OCH 3 terminal group. A total of five PEG-functionalized copolymers contained the same hydrophobic monomer, butyl acrylate (BA), and were successfully reproduced via a one-pot synthesis. The resulting PEG-functionalized copolymers provide a systematic trend of properties including surface tension, critical micelle concentration (CMC), cloud point (CP), and foam lifetime based on the average MW of the PEG monomer and final polymer properties. In general, the PEGMA series produced more stable foams with PEGMA200 demonstrating the least change in foam height with time over a 10 min period. The important exception is that at elevated temperatures, the PEGMMA1000 copolymer had longer foam lifetimes. The self-assembling copolymers were characterized by gel permeation chromatography (GPC), 1 H nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), attenuated total reflection Fourier transform infrared (FTIR-ATR), CMC, surface tension, dynamic light scattering (DLS), as a foam using a dynamic foam analyzer (DFA), and foam lifetime at ambient and elevated temperatures. The copolymers described highlight the importance of the PEG monomer MW and terminal end group for surface interaction and final polymer properties for foam stabilization.
