Obtenção de derivados do ácido litocólico e suas atividades antimicrobianas

Abstract

This paper describes obtaining eight lithocholic acid derivatives, as well as inhibitory activity. Interest in the use of lithocholic acid as starting material for the preparation of derivatives arose because of it being widely studied in order to discover new biological activities and such studies have shown good results. In this work it was used for the synthesis of a series of derivatives with modifications at the C-3 and/or C-24 of the steroid skeleton. The series was prepared using simple chemical and showed good yields. Aiming to investigate the antibacterial activity of the same and its derivatives, aiming to structure-activity relationships, tests were performed with bacteria Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, Bacillus cereus and Pseudomonas aeruginosa, try some of them presented significant results. And lithocholic acid derivatives were characterized by spectroscopic IR, 1H NMR, 13C-BB NMR and 13C-DEPT NMR and mass spectrometry as well as comparison with data in the literature and described constitute the body of the dissertation.
