Over 30 nitrile-containing pharmaceuticals are prescribed for a diverse variety of medicinal indications with more than 20 additional nitrile-containing leads in clinical development. Trends identifying the roles of the nitrile in medical agents have emerged as the number of nitrile-containing pharmaceuticals has increased. Coupled with the increasing number of nitrile-containing agents have been structural advances that provide insight into the binding of small molecule inhibitors. X-ray crystallography in particular is providing key insight into small molecule-protein interactions through an increasing number of structures with inhibitors bound in the active site. Augmenting the available interactions with current nitrilecontaining pharmaceuticals are details from clinical candidates no longer under development. The present review surveys this range of medicinally active nitriles by focusing on the roles of the CN unit.The prevalence of nitrile-containing pharmaceuticals and the continued stream of potential agents in the clinic attest to the biocompatibility of the nitrile functionality. 1 The nitrile group is not particularly electrophilic toward free nucleophiles, even glutathione, 2 unless activated by adjacent structural elements such as electron withdrawing groups. 3 A caveat is the highly orchestrated activation-electrophilic additions such as those being exploited in several aminonitriles for diabetes and osteoporosis treatments that feature a reversible electrophilic attack (vide infra). The nitrile group is quite robust and, in most cases, is not readily metabolized. 4 Metabolically, the nitrile group in most nitrile-containing drugs is passed through the body unchanged. 5 In cases of drug metabolism prior to elimination, the formation of glucuronides, 6 conjugation with glutathione, 7 N-dealkylation, 8 N-acetylation, 9 hydrolysis, 6a-d and oxidation10 typically occurs at sites remote from the nitrile and without modification of the nitrile group.
