Pharmaceutical impurities are unwanted chemicals present in pharmaceutical products. In finished products, their origin can be related both to their presence in the aforementioned inputs used in the manufacturing process, and to their development during the product formulation, in the packaging process or with its aging (degradation). In recent decades, the modernization of pharmaceutical…
²-Carboline based chemical scaffolds are potential ligands for the ±+/² binding site of GABAA receptors. In particular, ²-carbolines belong to the ''ZK series'' such as ZK 91085 have been suggested to exert their second phase of action at the extracellular ±+/² interface. However, their chemical synthesis demand multi-step which prevents the access to large set of molecular libraries for …

In this research project, we aim to apply the innovative and promising strategy of fragment-based drug discovery (FBDD), an approach that employs small molecules, known as fragments, to identify and optimize interactions with therapeutic targets. The primary focus will be on the fragment 5,8-dihydro-1,6-naphthyridin-7(6H)-one, aligned with the advancements of the team at Durham University…
Indolizines are aromatic heterocyclic molecules composed of a five-membered pyrrolic ring fused to a six-membered pyridinic ring, with a nitrogen atom being shared by the two. These heterocycles have electron-deficient characteristics in their six-membered ring and electron-rich characteristics in their five-membered ring, so they can react both as nucleophiles and electrophiles. This cla…
Indolizines are heteroaromatic molecules that have a six-membered ring fused with a five-membered ring, with a nitrogen atom in the center, they are also called pyrrolo[1,2-a]pyridine. Due to their electronic and fluorescent characteristics, they have also been used for photoresponsive materials and dyes. Amino groups are very interesting substituents for different scaffols, as they can a…

Heterocycles are structures present in the vast majority of drugs, promoting the medicinal action of these compounds. Within this class of compounds, those that present Nitrogen as the heteroatom in their structure predominate, which usually contain fused rings. Indolizine is a representative compound of this group, which has already been the subject of studies for antitumor drugs, howeve…
Chalcones are organic molecules commonly found in the molecular structure of natural and synthetic products of high added value, including clinically approved drugs, being considered privileged units in medicinal chemistry for presenting a wide spectrum of biological properties. These aspects make the development of synthetic methodologies relevant for the preparation of this class of com…

Aromatic indolizines are important scaffolds in organic synthesis, with several applications on both medicinal and material chemistry. However, only the saturated indolizidine scaffold is found in nature, with diverse examples of alkaloids displaying remarkable biological activities. Therefore, various synthetic approaches to obtain the saturated version of this heterocycle, based on the …
In light of the ongoing public health challenge posed by cancer, there is a continuous need to explore novel approaches for treating and diagnosis of different cancer types. Of particular interest in our research is CD73, an enzyme that is often overexpressed in cancer tissues . Our research proposal focuses on exploring ligands designed to inhibit CD73's functionality, addressing the all…
Sulfonamides compounds represent and important class of compounds due to their wide range of biological and pharmaceutical applications, including in the first generation of antibiotics. Despite their recognized importance, several classical methodologies to synthesize sulfonamides derivatives have limitations regarding the sustainability aspect, which is an increasingly concern for econo…
