DESENVOLVIMENTO DE FÁRMACOS POR HIBRIDAÇÃO MOLECULAR: UMA AULA PRÁTICA DE QUÍMICA MEDICINAL USANDO COMPRIMIDOS DE PARACETAMOL E SULFADIAZINA E A FERRAMENTA VIRTUAL SciFinder^®

Medicinal Chemistry is a multidisciplinary discipline and the discovery of new bioactive molecules is one of its objectives. Molecular Hybridization (MH) is a strategy of rational design of new prototypes, where the lead compound is produced through an adequate fusion of pharmacophoric sub-unities. Undergraduate laboratory experiments for Medicinal Chemistry education with a focus on MH are scarce. Therefore, the present paper describes a practice class for some undergraduate courses (Pharmacy, Chemistry and/or Chemical Engineering) involving drug development and MH that can be performed at...
