The Medicinal Chemistry Group (NEQUIMED) is composed by a set of laboratories from different areas of knowledge:
(i) organic synthesis
(ii) cheminformatics
(iii) biochemical assays & calorimetry
(iv) cell-based assays.
Two main areas of research are under the scrutiny of NEQUIMED researchers:
– anti-trypanosomatide compounds with emphasis on Chagas disease (Trypanosoma cruzi).
– anti-cancer compounds for prostate cancer.
