SÍNTESE, ATIVIDADE ANTILESHMANIA E CITOTÓXICA DE HIDRAZONAS DERIVADAS DE ALDEÍDOS NATURAIS

Leishmaniasis is endemic anthropozoonosis considered to be a severe public health problem. The treatment with pentavalent antimonials presents high toxicity motivating the search for effective and less toxic drugs. Hydrazones and N-acylhydrazones are functional groups that are prominent in Medicinal Chemistry, including as antiprotozoals. In this context, five hydrazones derived from the natural aldehydes were synthesized and the molecular structures were suitably determined to employ uni and bidimensional 1H and 13C NMR techniques. The antileishmanial activity of all hydrazones was determined...
