Abstract

Dopamine (DA) was identified as a neurotransmitter in the brain, about 50 years ago and has been the subject of an extraordinary number of researches and publications. Due to the early discovery of a strong correlation between the depletion of the DA striatal and motor deficits observed in Parkinson's disease (PD), the involvement in the motion control has long been emphasized. The discovery of the role in the motor components of the DA began a long series of experiments and clinical investigations, which are still in progress, leading to the development of L- DOPA therapy and, later, for other types of medications to improve the patient's symptoms. The Theme proposed for the postdoc offers the possibility of synthesizing heterocyclic systems that have activity against neurodegenerative diseases, Alzheimer's type, in the treatment of schizophrenia and autism, as well as to the improvement of the cognitive process and also as antitumor. This class of molecules could find use in the treatment of alcoholism and addiction of cocaine and amphetamines. Possible concomitant mechanism of inhibition of Kv3.1 potassium ion channels will be investigated for the sulfonamide-quinazoline and sulfonamide-fluoxetine derivatives, synthesized during the present research. The compounds synthesized in this work will be fully characterized by spectroscopic and spectrometric analysis and studied for their biological properties in vitro and in vivo using the methods described.
