Arlene G. Corrêa received her Ph.D. from the Federal University of São Carlos (1991) under the supervision of Professor Timothy J. Brocksom, with a sandwich program at University of Grenoble with Professor Andrew E. Greene. Then she completed her postdoctoral trainings with Professor Paul A. Wender (Stanford University, CA, 1997). She is a Full Professor in Department of Chemistry at the University Federal of São Carlos, and was the head of the Department (2009-2013). Her research interest on medicinal chemistry is the synthesis of bioactive natural products and analogs, employing combinatorial technologies and green chemistry, with potential application on the treatment of tropical diseases. Her group has also contributed in chemical ecology with the isolation, identification and synthesis of insect pheromones. She is a fellow of the Royal Society of Chemistry, member of the Brazilian Chemical Society and American Chemical Society. She is the director of the Centre of Excellence for Research in Sustainable Chemistry and coordinate the project Materials in Sustainable Process and Products of the Embrapii-UFSCar Unit on Advanced Materials. She received the BMOS (2024) and the ACS-SBQ Brazilian Women in Chemistry Awards (2025). (Source: Lattes Curriculum)

The Centre of Excellence for Research in Sustainable Chemistry (CERSusChem) was established in 2016 by the FAPESP Engineering Research Centers Program (CPE) and was co-financed by the pharmaceutical industry GlaxoSmithKline (GSK). The CERSusChem activities are based on the 3 pillars: research, innovation, and knowledge dissemination. Continuing our efforts in the development of new sustai…
The purchase of this equipment will be of pivotal importance to all members of the CERSusChem to fulfill their basic needs of research, as the proposal aims the preparation, separation and identification of enantiomerically pure or chiral enriched substances. Therefore, we plan to use the ultra-performance liquid chromatography as analytical tool. This new technology provides both high sp…
The Centre of Excellence for Research in Sustainable Chemistry (CERSusChem) is an initiative of researchers at the Chemistry Department of the Federal University of São Carlos, aiming to promote the development and implementation of green and sustainable chemistry and related technologies. The Centre, is formed by 18 faculty members of 5 different Public Universities (UFSCar UNICAMP, USP-…
Quinoxalines are a class of heterocyclic compounds that have been intensively studied for their biological activities, showing promising activity against protozoa, in an ongoing study towards the discovery of new antiparasitic compounds, we have synthesized a library of quinoxaline derivatives, which has been evaluated in vitro against epimastigote, promastigote, and trypomastigote forms …

1,3,4-Oxadiazoles have shown several biological activities, such as anti-HIV, antihypertensive and antimicrobial. Thus, the development of new methods for the synthesis of 1,3,4-oxadiazoles has been the focus of several research groups. Although different reaction conditions are described, in the vast majority of cases, hydrazide derivatives are used as starting material. The objectives o…
Approximately 60% of small-molecule drugs contain nitrogen heterocycles in their molecular frameworks. Among the N-heterocycles, pyrrolo[2,1-a]isoquinolines and 2-pyrrolo[2,3-b]indoles stand out. Recently, our group reported a one-pot copper(II)-catalyzed conjugate addition/cyclization cascade method for the synthesis of phenylpyrrolo[1,2-a]isoquinolines. These compounds were evaluated ag…

With the resurgence of organic photochemistry, mainly due to the new applications of visible-light photocatalysis, there has been a growing interest in the development of new methodologies for photocatalyzed or photochemical formal cycloadditions, which are efficient in synthesizing fully saturated cyclic compounds. The search for new saturated bicyclic structures has been on the rise for…
Aminonitriles are important intermediates in organic synthesis, since this structure can be used as a building block on the synthesis of several heterocyclic compounds. The versatile reactivity of these structures is due to the presence of an acidic hydrogen in the ±-position of amino and cyano groups. The most common form of employing these intermediates is through reaction of the ±-amin…
Visible light represents a safe, efficient and sustainable source of energy. Over the last decade, a major focus in visible light-mediated catalysis was on the access of highly reactive open shell species that are otherwise difficult or impossible to obtain by traditional chemical catalysis. Progress in the understanding of mechanisms and the properties of the photogenerated reactive inte…
The proposed work plan is directly related to the Ph.D. project developed in the PPGQ-UFSCar that includes, among other topics, the search for heterocyclic compounds with potential biological activity against the enzyme acetylcholinesterase, strictly related to Alzheimer's disease. The project proposal for the internship abroad consists on the synthesis of heterocyclic compounds using flo…
