Biological aspects

Pharmaceuticals

About 20% of modern pharmaceuticals contain fluorine, including commercially significant drugs in many different pharmaceutical classes.[1] One of these, the cholesterol-reducer atorvastatin (Lipitor), was the number one money-making drug for nearly a decade. The branded asthma medication Serevent (Advair), a top-ten revenue drug as of the mid-2000s, also contains a fluorinated molecule: fluticasone.[2][3]

Even a single atom of fluorine, added to a drug molecule, can greatly change its chemical properties and thus how it interacts with the body. Because of the considerable stability of the carbon-fluorine bond, many drugs are fluorinated to delay their metabolism and elimination by the body. This allows longer times between doses.[4] Also, adding fluorine to organics increases their lipophilicity (ability to dissolve in fats) because the carbon–fluorine bond is even more hydrophobic than the carbon–hydrogen bond. This effect often increases a drug's bioavailability because of increased cell membrane penetration.[3]

Prozac (fluoxetine)

Many modern antidepressants are fluorinated molecules that selectively limit the body's binding of serotonin (low serotonin availability in brain cells is a cause of depression). Prior to the 1980s, traditional antidepressants, such as the tricyclics, altered not only serotonin uptake but also affected several other neurotransmitters. This non-selective interaction caused many side effects. One of the first drugs to alter only serotonin uptake—and be free of most side effects of previous drugs—was fluorine-containing Prozac (fluoxetine). It became the best-selling antidepressant and prompted the popular book Listening to Prozac. Some other selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) antidepressants that are fluorinated are Celexa (and its isomer Lexapro), Luvox, and Paxil.[5][6]

Quinolones are artificial compounds that are broad-spectrum antibiotics. Most of the currently used quinolones are fluorinated to make the drugs more powerful. Prominent examples include ciprofloxacin (Cipro) and levofloxacin (Levaquin). The latter was the highest selling U.S. antibiotic in 2010.[7][8][9][10]

Fluorine also finds use in many steroidal drugs.[11] Florinef (fludrocortisone) is a mineralocorticoid (a compound used to retain sodium and water and thus raise blood pressure).[12] Kenalog (triamcinolone) and dexamethasone are potent glucocorticoids (anti-inflammatories).[12]

Several inhaled anesthetics, including the most common ones, are heavily fluorinated. The first fluorinated anesthetic, halothane, proved to be much safer (neither explosive nor flammable) and longer-lasting than those previously used. Modern fluorinated anesthetics are longer-lasting still and almost insoluble in blood, which accelerates the awakening. Examples include sevoflurane, desflurane, enflurane, and isoflurane, all fluorinated ethers.[13][14]

Designed agrichemicals

An estimated 30% of agrichemical compounds contain fluorine.[15] Most of them are herbicides and fungicides, but a few regulate growth instead.[citation needed] Fluorine substitution (usually of a single atom or at most a trifluoromethyl group) is a powerful tool for designers of new agrochemicals[citation needed] somewhat limited by the added cost of fluorinated intermediates. The molecular effects (increasing biological stay time, membrane crossing, or altering molecular recognition) are similar to fluorinated pharmaceuticals.

Trifluralin was once a very important weedkiller; for example, in 1998 over a half of U.S. cotton field area was coated with the chemical.[16] However, its suspected carcinogenic properties caused some Northern European countries to ban it in 1993.[17] Although currently banned throughout the whole European Union, this decision has recently been contested.[18]

Other biological aspects

Liquid fluorocarbons are used in artificial blood and liquid breathing research because they can hold more oxygen or carbon dioxide than blood does.[19] A blood substitute, Oxycyte, has been through initial clinical trials.[20][21] Perfuorocarbon blood substitutes are banned from sports, where they may be used to increase oxygen use for endurance athletes. One cyclist, Mauro Gianetti was investigated after a near fatality where PFC use was suspected.[22][23] A liquid breathing effort (but with only partial filling of the lungs) by Alliance Pharmaceuticals, reached clinical trials but was abandoned.[24] Several fictional treatments of perfluorocarbon breathing, such as the The Abyss, exist.[25][26][27]


2. simple poisons

Fluoroacetate warning sign

Sodium monofluoroacetate, the same acid as in vinegar but with one hydrogen changed out for fluorine, is a powerful poison. It was first synthesized in the late 19th century and was recognized as an insecticide in the early 20th century. Later, it became widely used to control mammalian pests (e.g. rats). The name "1080" refers to the catalogue number of the poison, which became its brand name. The compound is now banned in the European community and the United States[note 1] but is still used in Australia and some other countries. Fluoroacetate deprives cells of energy by replacing acetate in the Krebs cycle, halting a key part of cell metabolism.[28][29] Several insecticides contain sodium fluoride, which is much less toxic than fluoroacetate.[30]


3. fluorine dating

Because groundwater contains fluorine ions, organic items such as bone that are buried in soil will absorb those ions over time. As such, it is possible to determine the relative age of an object by comparing the amount of fluoride with another object found in the same area. It is important as a separation technique in intra-site chronological analysis and inter-site comparisons.[31]

However, if no actual age of any object is known, the ages can only be expressed in terms of one of the objects being older or younger than the other. The fluctuating amount of fluoride found in groundwater means the objects being compared must be in the same local area in order for the comparisons to be accurate. This technique is not always reliable, given that not all objects absorb fluoride at the same rates.[32]

There is a brief description of the use of fluorine in pharmaceuticals in Organofluorine#Biological_role, which might be a place to start. I did a quick literature search and found several general review articles. I don't know how easy it will be to find any of these, but if you don't have access to any of them through your library, just let me know and I'll see if I can get them. -- Ed (Edgar181) 13:02, 3 January 2012 (UTC)

Biological aspects

Drugs and agrichemicals

Prozac (fluoxetine) is a notable anti-depressant, which contains fluorine.

Several important pharmacueticals contain fluorine.[33]Of drugs that have been commercialized in the past 50 years, 5–15% contain fluorine, and the percentage of currently available fluorine-containing drugs is increasing.[13]

(add importance examples. resolve issues with amounts) th 2008 sales of US$12.4 billion, Lipitor was the top-selling branded pharmaceutical in the world.[34] (text from other article).

Because of the considerable stability of the carbon-fluorine bond, many drugs are fluorinated to prevent their metabolism and prolong their half-lives, allowing for longer times between dosing and activation. For example, an aromatic ring may add to prevent the metabolism of a drug, but this presents a safety problem, because enzymes in the body metabolize some aromatic compounds into poisonous epoxides. Substituting a fluorine into a para position, however, protects the aromatic ring and prevents the epoxide from being produced.[35] For instance, Diflunisal has two fluorines on one of its rings and has a half-life of 13 hours. This is much much longer than most other non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and allows doses at 12 hour intervals.[36] Since the carbon–fluorine bond is strong, organofluorides are generally very stable, although the potential of the fluorine to be released as a fluoride leaving group is heavily dependent on its position in the molecule.

Adding fluorine to biologically active organics increases their lipophilicity, because the carbon–fluorine bond is even more hydrophobic than the carbon–hydrogen bond. This effect often increases a drug's bioavailability due to increased cell membrane penetration.[37] (blood brain barriar and tranquilizers.) (Mention trifluoromethyl group.)

For example, fludrocortisone is one of the most common mineralocorticoids, a class of drugs that mimics the actions of aldosterone. The anti-inflammatories dexamethasone and triamcinolone, which are among the most potent of the synthetic corticosteroids class of drugs, contain fluorine.[38] (mineralcorticoid is a subset of corticosteroid, which are steroids made in the adrenal cortex, mineral ones affect salt balance. Other one is gluco, need to straighten out this section.)

Many SSRI antidepressants are fluorinated organics,[39] including citalopram, escitalopram, fluoxetine, fluvoxamine, and paroxetine. (give a little the explanation of what an SSRI is)

Fluoroquinolones are a commonly used family of broad-spectrum antibiotics.[9] (Give some explanation of hospital use, drug-resistant bacteria, when others fail. Modification of quinolones, most now fluoro.)

(make a para on aenesthetics, fire issue, market prevalence, trends, timing) Several inhaled general anesthetic agents, including the most commonly used inhaled agents, also contain fluorine. Examples include sevoflurane, desflurane, and isoflurane, which are hydrofluorocarbon derivatives.[13]

In addition to pharmaceuticals, an estimated 30% of agrochemical compounds contain fluorine.[40]

Because biological systems do not metabolize fluorinated molecules easily, fluorinated pharmaceuticals (often antibiotics and antidepressants) are among the major fluorinated organics found in treated city sewage and wastewater.[41] Because of these, water from agricultural sites contaminates rivers with runoff organofluorines.[citation needed]
