Apresentação

The FitoSín Group, has been working on the identification and characterization of biomolecules, contributing to the expansion of knowledge of the chemical and pharmacological potential of species of the families Fabaceae, Orchidaceae, Poaceae, Arecaceae, Rubiaceae and Melastomataceae present in the Cerrado of Goiás and Paraná, and in the Atlantic Forest. Among the main microorganisms studied are bacteria of the genera Pseudomonas and Rhizobium, in addition to fungi of the genus Fusarium. In the search for new molecules for therapeutic and agronomic purposes, the FitoSín group also carries out research in the synthesis of new nitrogenous compounds derived from abundant natural products such as N-acyl-homoserines lactones, hydantoins, thiohydantoins, quinolines, thiosemicarbazides, thiosemicarbazones and 1,3, 4-thiadiazoles. Synthetic auxiliary tools are also used in the derivatization of natural products aiming at increasing levels of biological activities (structural changes).
