SEMICARBAZONAS: SEQUÊNCIA DIDÁTICA INTERDISCIPLINAR EM AULAS EXPERIMENTAIS DE QUÍMICA ORGÂNICA E QUÍMICA MEDICINAL

SEMICARBAZONES: INTERDISCIPLINARY APPROACH IN EXPERIMENTAL CLASSES OF ORGANIC CHEMISTRY AND MEDICINAL CHEMISTRY. Considering the chemical and pharmacological properties of semicarbazones, an interdisciplinary didactic sequence was developed to be applied in experimental classes of undergraduate courses in Pharmacy, Chemistry and related areas. This didactic sequence was planned in three steps, starting from the planning of the target molecule, a semicarbazone derived from helional, to its synthesis, physicochemical characterization (CCD, melting point, FTIR and UV-Vis) and in silico tests of its pharmacokinetic properties using the free software ADMETlab 2.0. The proposed target molecule has as molecular scaffold the 1,3-benzodiaxole nucleus and the semicarbazone function, aiming to obtain a molecule with promising anticonvulsant action and that can be obtained by a low cost and easy to execute methodology, which makes it attractive for use in experimental classes. Thus, the application of this didactic sequence aims to provide undergraduate students the opportunity to experience the process of drug development, applying techniques for planning, synthesis, characterization, and pharmacokinetic evaluation in silico. Besides reinforcing the interdisciplinary teaching of Medicinal Chemistry, applying in an integrated way the theoretical and practical knowledge of the disciplines of Organic Chemistry, Physical Chemistry, Pharmacology and Computational Chemistry.
