Abstract
Tuberculosis (TB) and fungal diseases are opportunistic infections that very often complicate the immunological response in HIV-infected individuals [1-3]. During our studies on novel antimycobacterial and antifungal agents we synthesized a number of new pyrrole derivatives and among them some proved very active against both fungi and mycobacteria. Some others instead were very selective against mycobacteria only. So we pursued a program aimed at individuating the chemical groups or their association, responsible for the particular activity. Moreover, many other pyrroles we synthesized showed to be very active as COX-2 selective inhibitors. In this review we describe our approaches to the synthesis of the pyrrolic structures studied.

Catalytic C-H bond activation as a tool for functionalization of heterocycles
The major topic is the functionalization of heterocycles through catalyzed C-H bond activation. The strategies based on C-H activation not only provide straightforward formation of C-C or C-X bonds but, more importantly, allow for the avoidance of pre-functionalization of one or two of the cross-coupling partners. The beneficial impact of ...read more
