Design, synthesis and antitrypanosomatid activity of 2-nitroimidazole-3,5-disubstituted isoxazole compounds based on benznidazole

Neuroprotective Profile of Triazole Grandisin Analogue against Amyloid-Beta Oligomer-Induced Cognitive Impairment

“…Our research group has experience synthesizing small bioactive molecules using different medicinal chemistry approaches, such as bioisosterism and molecular hybridization. − Our synthesis strategy is most often inspired by natural products, such as tetrahydrofuran neolignans, whose privileged scaffold offer versatility for diverse biological applications. ,,− Grandisin (Figure , compound 5 ), a neolignan obtained from Virola surinamensis, a plant commonly found on the banks of the Amazon River, possesses anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. Carvalho and colleagues (2010) demonstrated that grandisin reduced inflammation in formalin-induced and croton-oil-induced paw and ear edema, respectively .…”
