Résumé:
According to a survey by the National Cancer Institute, it was found that about 623,030
people were affected by cancer in Brazil in 2019. It is estimated that in women the most
prevalent type of cancer is breast cancer with a mortality rate of 29.7% and in men,
prostate cancer with 29.2%. Specifically, the antineoplastic action of oxadiazole
compounds is extremely relevant, since cancer is a process of disordered cell
development that affects the individual by both genetic and environmental factors,
which causes the growth of cells that tend to be very aggressive determining the
formation of tumors differentiating in type through the speed of cell multiplication and
the ability to invade neighboring or distant tissues and organs. Thus, the present work
is a bibliographic review of 1,2,4-oxadiazole as a scaffold in the development of
antineoplastic agents.
