Our work is essentially dedicated to the preparation of (novel) (heterocyclic) organic compounds structurally related to derivatives of pharmacological and/or industrial importance. A special attention is devoted to the optimization of experimental conditions in order to combine economical aspects and respect of the environment (green chemistry).The main methodologies involved in the research are:
- use of supported reagents and heterocyclic auxiliaries
- reactions on soluble polymers and resins
- reactions in water
- influence of ultrasound and microwave on reaction rates,...
The preparation of original compounds potentially effective in the treatment of infectious diseases (malaria, pneumonia, tuberculosis, leishmania, …) and neuroprotection currently constitutes a privileged topic of research.
