Modularidade aplicada à síntese de compostos bioativos.

Abstract

The synthesis of bioactive compounds is characterized by the high number of steps to obtain its final product, refining it to the maximum so that its biological activity demonstrates more efficiency, consequently making it a time-consuming process, and because of this, the idea of synthesis modular has become strongly promising. Modular Reactions have taken up a large space in the scope of organic synthesis, for bringing innovations and ways to speed up the obtaining of bioactive compounds for pharmacological use. Firstly, modular reactions draw attention because they are reactions that take advantage of the concept of modularity, which can be summarized in the idea of using so-called “building blocks”, where different compounds are used, participating in varied combinations, having as Consequently, the reduction in the number of steps and, on the other hand, presenting the possibility of increasing the production of analogues of the researched product in a timely manner, in addition to the production of new products with interesting biological properties. This synthesis strategy still gains a lot of space for presenting the possibility of automating the reactions, where the idea of automation is centered on increasing the productivity and the speed with which the compounds will be formed, being able to be done from a script to obtain the products, to computer programming and automation to carry out the syntheses. The implementation of modularity carries with it scientific innovations that help in the growing demand for new drugs.
