MAOS and medicinal chemistry: some important examples from the last years

Molecules. 2011 Nov 7;16(11):9274-97. doi: 10.3390/molecules16119274.

Abstract

This review aims to highlight microwave-assisted organic synthesis as applied to medicinal chemistry in the last years, showing some reactions performed under microwave irradiation for the synthesis of distinct structurally molecules of biological interest, divided into the following groups: antineoplastics, anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial agents, antivirals, agents for the treatment of neglected diseases and central nervous system-acting prototypes.
