Short personal activity proposal for the COST Action CA15135 (max 1000 characters)
| Brief Description of research topics:
Main interests of my laboratory cover the development of novel methods and strategies for organic synthesis as well as the total synthesis of biologically active natural products and their analogues. We focus on highly flexible strategies to obtain as much as possible analogues for SAR studies. We propose Total synthesis of biologically relevant natural macrolides and terpenoids, the synthesis of small inhibitors of angiogenesis and cancer stem cells, the enantioselective synthesis of aliphatic building-blocks bearing Emergent Fluorinated Substituents (CHF2-, OCF3– and SF5-containing compounds) for medicinal chemistry purposes.
Brief description of the current main research projects: We started recently a new program towards the stereoselective preparation of building blocks containing emergent fluorinated substituents (EFS). We currently prepare homologues of pamamycin-607 as antituberculinic agents, amino-oxazole-based inhibitors of Hedgehog pathway (also agonists of Smoothened SAG), quassinoids (SkE) for cancer inhibition (MAP-kinases), and quinoids for cdc-25 inhibition. |
