Designed to meet the specific training needs of undergraduate and graduate students, the SINTMOL Lab (or just LP4) at the Universidade Federal de Mato Grosso do Sul (UFMS) provides a facility for research on the synthesis of organic compounds with special properties.

Major investigations currently conducted at the SINTMOL Lab (LP4) involve the following fields:

Organic chemistry

  • Synthesis of natural and bioactive compounds
  • Structural transformation to modify or enhance the biological activities of natural products
  • Synthesis of new products from abundant renewable raw materials—glycerol, cashew nut shell liquid (CNSL), vegetable oils, etc. (Green Chemistry)
  • Synthesis of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) using continuous flow chemistry
  • C(sp2)-H bond activation/functionalization
  • Chalcogenation of heterocyclic compounds

Biotechnology

  • New antimicrobials from fungi (Molecular Bioprospection)
  • Use of biotransformations and biocatalysis to generate derivatives from natural and synthetic substrates (Green Chemistry)
  • Production of antibiotics by fermentation
