Síntese de derivados aminoquinolínicos e avaliação do efeito em protozoários

This work demonstrates the synthesis of 26 aminoquinolinic derivatives and their evaluation in protozoa. For a better display, the project was divided into three series: the first is related to hydrazone synthesis and the second to synthesis of Schiff bases. The two bioactive nuclei were conjugated involving the concept of molecular hybridization. The third series involved the synthesis of silver complexes from the 4-aminoquinoline ligands. All components were properly characterized using spectroscopic techniques that allowed their identification. The synthesized compounds had their antiparasitic potential evaluated in parasites of the genus Leishmania and Plasmodium, which are responsible for Leishmaniasis and Malaria, respectively. In addition, their toxicity was evaluated in mammalian cells using murine peritoneal macrophages. Regarding the leishmanicidal activity, part of the compounds presented activity against Leishmania sp, with emphasis on compound 1a in amastigotes of L. amazonensis (IC 50 of 8.1 μM), a close result to the reference drug Miltefosine (IC 50 of 4.15 μM). Most compounds did not present expressive cytotoxicity for macrophages, except for compounds 1b, 1f and 2d. Plasmodium tests are still under review. These results confirm the potential biological of aminoquinoline derivatives and stimulate further studies with this class of molecules for the treatment of parasitic diseases. ; Este trabalho mostra a síntese de 26 derivados aminoquinolínicos e suas avaliações em protozoários.
