Heterocyclic pharmaceuticals are emerging contaminants due to their toxic, carcinogenic nature and detrimental impact on the natural ecosystem. These compounds pose a significant environmental concern given widespread use in medical therapy, constituting over 90% of new medications. Their unique chemical structure contributes persistence various matrices, necessitating urgent measures mitigate risks. This review comprehensively examines sources, fate, toxicity, long-term risks associated with heterocyclic pharmaceuticals, proposing potential remediation strategies. The article commences an overview diverse types applications, focusing containing heteroatoms such as nitrogen, oxygen, sulfur. Subsequently, it explores sources pathways through which these pollutants enter environment, including wastewater discharge, agricultural runoff, improper disposal, resistance biodegradation, bioaccumulation. toxic effects consequences exposure then discussed, encompassing neurotoxicity, genotoxicity, mutagenesis, cardiovascular metabolic carcinogenicity, teratogenesis. Additionally, this summarizes strategies treatment solutions aimed at reducing compounds, drawing insights from literature. research concludes by identifying critical areas for future research, emphasizing need more effective address growing posed contaminants.
