AND RECENT ADVANCES.Chitin and chitosan are copolymers build from N-acetyl-D-glucosamine D-glucosamine.The former is widely found in nature yields the latter on deacetylation.The being used for several purposes.Since 1977, when First International Conference Chitin Chitosan was held Boston, USA, interest chitin has remarkably increased.This review emphasizes pharmaceutical applications of its derivatives, presents recent advances.Some therapeutical these polymers also discussed.

Dendrimers are versatile hyperbranched molecules, which have deserved attention especially for their potential in many applications, including biological. Peptide dendrimers comprise interesting classes of dendrimers, and use has been emphasized as a drug/bioactive compound delivery system, mostly the antineoplastic area. The bioactive molecules can be covalently linked or entrapped inside peptide derivative. Self-assembled nanocarriers recent trend design systems, pH-sensitive carriers, one...

The aim of this paper was to emphasize the importance prodrug design therapy, by examining examples available on Brazilian pharmaceutical market. principles are briefly discussed herein. Examples prodrugs from many important therapeutic classes shown and their advantages relative drugs they derived also discussed. Considering these classes, both therapy economic standpoints, is a very valuable aspect in research new for industry as whole.

Chagas' disease is a parasitic infection widely distributed throughout Latin America, with devastating consequences in terms of human morbidity and mortality. Cruzain, the major cysteine protease from Trypanosoma cruzi, an attractive target for antitrypanosomal chemotherapy. In present work, classical two-dimensional quantitative structure-activity relationships (2D QSAR) hologram QSAR (HQSAR) studies were performed on training set 45 thiosemicarbazone semicarbazone derivatives as inhibitors...

The biological action of drugs with potential antichagasic activities can be better understood by knowing their reduction mechanism. For this proposal, the electrochemical nitrofurazone (NF) and its analogues, nitrofurfurilidene thiosemicarbazone (NFS), nitrothiophene semicarbazone (NT), (NTS), was studied differential pulse cyclic voltammetries chronoamperometry in aqueous medium using a glassy carbon electrode. Those three synthetic analogues have oxygen sulfur atoms arranged between...
