In the field of drug design and development, medicinal chemists use a variety of tools to quickly generate a series of hit compounds controlling a specific biological target and culminating in a lead compound. Process chemists seek efficient methods to synthesize the lead compounds provided by the medicinal chemists and using readily available and inexpensive starting materials, shortcuts and simpler routes. With this in mind, we aimed to design, develop and apply chemical tools to generate hit compounds, but also developing new simpler methods to make pharmaceutically relevant compounds. In this context, this thesis has two goals. In the first part, we focused on the enzyme prolyl oligopeptidase, reviewing its involvement in neurological d...
