Abstract

Based on previous studies carried out by the research group, this project aims at the synthesis of fluorescent maleimide probes for attachment to key proteins applying a low cost method. The probes will be prepared using a Heck-Matsuda reaction which employs arenediazonium salts and palladium as catalyst. This method has been proved highly effective in the construction of arylated maleic anhydrides and maleimides, which are also important structural moieties of some bioactive natural products, such as rebbecamicine displaying antitumor activity.The project is an ongoing on, and the its new aspects should strengthen many collaborations involving Prof. Correias lab and others in Brazil and abroad, such the one headed by Dr. Ludger Wessjohann, at Halle, Germany.
