SYNTHESIS OF DRUGS AND BIOACTIVE COMPOUNDS GROUP

1) Development of new chemical processes, more efficient than conventional ones and with reduced environmental impact. 2) Application of these methodologies to the synthesis of potential drugs or agrochemicals. 3) Synthesis of alkaloids 4) Synthesis of nucleoside analogues (azanucleosides, C-nucleosides, acyclic nucleosides) 5) Synthesis of non-proteinogenic amino acids and amino acid analogues. 6) Site-selective peptide modification 7) Development of antimicrobial and/or antitumoral peptides 8) Development of peptide catalysts 9) Development of activators of plant natural defenses against biotic (phytopathogens) or abiotic stresses (drought, salinity).
