AVANÇOS QUÍMICOS NO PLANEJAMENTO E DESENVOLVIMENTO DE DERIVADOS DO PARACETAMOL

Acetaminophen or paracetamol is a widely used analgesic and antipyretic drug and appears to be safe if used at normal therapeutic doses, but in large doses produce liver and / or kidney damage in humans and experimental animals. Prostaglandin endoperoxide synthase (PGES) and cytochrome P-450 are the key enzymes in humans as they are responsible for the analgesic and toxicity effects of paracetamol, respectively. At present, the development of new derivatives still has few impacts on clinical applications of safe compounds. Thus, in this work are discussed, a series of approaches on the design and development of acetaminophen derivatives. Some efforts were realized in our own research group.
