Prof. Dr. Maité Maité Sylla-Iyarreta Veitía

Information

Currently, my research interests are focused on two main axes: medicinal chemistry / drug discovery and green chemistry / sustainable development. In medicinal chemistry, I interested in developing new therapeutic molecules from known drugs: design, synthesis and biological evaluation of new anti-inflammatory agents, including TNFα and COX-2 inhibitors and the development of new antimicrobials and anticancer agents. In the field of green chemistry, my interest is focused on the implementation of various mild activation methods for the synthesis of molecules with high added value (biotransformation, organocatalysis, microwaves).
