      A series of new 2-aminonaphthoquinones and related compounds were synthesized and evaluated in vitro as trypanocidal and cytotoxic agents. Some tested compounds inhibited epimastigote growth and trypomastigote viability. ...
    • Tapia, Ricardo; López, Claudio; Morello Casté, Antonio; Maya Arango, Juan; Valderrama, Jaime (2005)
      The synthesis of a new class of angular tetracyclic quinones is described. Our strategy involves Diels-Alder reaction of pyrroloquinolinequinone 9, generated in situ from pyrroloquinoline 8, and dienes. The required ...
    • Briones, Ximena G.; Encinas, María V.; Petri, Denise F.S.; Pavez, Jorge E.; Tapia, Ricardo A.; Yazdani-Pedram Zobeiri, Mehrdad; Urzúa Acevedo, Marcela (2011)
      The adsorption of hydrophobically modified polyelectrolytes derived from poly(maleic anhydride-alt-styrene) (P(MA-alt-St)) containing in their side chain aryl-alkyl groups onto amino- or methyl-terminated silicon wafers ...
    • Espinosa Bustos, Christian; Lagos, Carlos F.; Romero Parra, Javier; Zárate, Ana M.; Mella Raipán, Jaime A.; Pessoa Mahana, Hernán; Recabarren Gajardo, Gonzalo Iván; Iturriaga-Vásquez, Patricio; Tapia, Ricardo A.; Pessoa Mahana, Carlos David (Wiley-VCH Verlag, 2015)
      © 2015 Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA. A series of N-acyl-2,5-dimethoxyphenyl-1H-benzimidazoles were designed based on a CoMFA model for cannabinoid receptor type 1 (CB1) ligands. Compounds were synthesized and radioligand ...
    • Gazitua, Marcela; Tapia, Ricardo A.; Contreras Ramos, Renato; Campodonico, Paola R. (Royal Society of Chemistry, 2018)
      The reaction of 2,4-dinitrobenzenesulfonyl chloride toward propylamine was kinetically evaluated in 19 organic solvents and 10 ionic liquids as reaction media. This study was compared with a previous study to experimentally ...
    • Alarcón Esposito, Jazmín; Contreras Ramos, Renato; Tapia, Ricardo A.; Campodónico, Paola R. (2016)
      We report an experimental study on the effect of solvents on the model SNAr reaction between 1-chloro-2,4dinitrobenzene and morpholine in a series of pure ionic liquids (IL). A significant catalytic effect is observed with ...
    • Lagos, Carlos F.; Araya Secchi, Raúl; Thomas, Pablo; Pérez-Acle, Tomás; Tapia, Ricardo A.; Salas, Cristian O. (2012)
      Trypanosoma cruzi glutamate cysteine ligase (TcGCL) is considered a potential drug target to develop novel antichagasic drugs. We have used a variety of computational methods to investigate the interactions between TcGCL ...
    • Urzua, Julio I.; Contreras Ramos, Renato; Salas, Cristian O.; Tapia, Ricardo A. (2016)
      A new and efficient synthesis of 2-arylbenzoxazoles and benzothiazoles using a copper N-heterocyclic carbene complex is described. In a simple protocol a variety of 2-substituted benzoxazoles and benzothiazoles were obtained ...
    • Salas, Cristian O.; Faúndez, Mario; Morello Casté, Antonio; Maya Arango, Juan; Tapia, Ricardo A. (2011)
      Chagas disease is one of the most important endemic diseases in Latin America, caused by Trypanosoma cruzi. The drugs used for the treatment of this disease, nifurtimox and benznidazole, are toxic and present severe side ...
    • Ormazábal Toledo, Rodrigo; Contreras Ramos, Renato; Tapia, Ricardo A.; Campodónico, Paola R. (2013)
      We herein report results obtained from an integrated experimental and theoretical study on aromatic nucleophilic substitution (SNAr) reactions of a series of amines towards 1-fluoro-2,4-dinitrobenzene in water. Specific ...
    • Briones O., Ximena; Tapia, Ricardo A.; Campodonico, Paola R.; Urzúa Acevedo, Marcela; Leiva, Angel; Contreras Ramos, Renato; González Navarrete, Javier (Elsevier, 2018)
      The main motivation of this work is to obtain poly (ionic liquids) (PILs) derived from poly (4-vinyl pyridine) of different hydrophobic character containing BF4-, PF6-, (CF3SO2)(2) N- and CF3SO3- as counterions. PILs were ...
    • Tapia, Ricardo A.; Prieto, Yolanda; Zamora, Gaston; Morello Casté, Antonio; Repetto Scaramelli, Yolanda (Freund Publishing House Ltd, 2000)
      A straightforward synthesis of a group of 4-alkylamino-6-nitroquinolines starting from a common intermediate, 5,8-dimethoxy-6-nitro-4(1H)quinolone 3, is described. These compounds were tested in vitro as potential ...
