Design and synthesis of “small molecules” as antiviral and radiotracer agents
(Universita degli studi di Salerno, 2011-03-28)
The present Ph.D. project was divided into different work parts, in a way that helps to understand and define the goals of this project. In particular: I) Design, synthesis and evaluation of antiviral activity of Arbidol ...
Design, synthesis and biological evaluation of new small molecule modulators of Arginine methyltransferases
(Universita degli studi di Salerno, 2011-02-21)
The methylation of arginine residues is a prevalent post-translational modification, found on both nuclear and cytoplasmic proteins, catalyzed by the protein arginine N-methyltransferase (PRMT) family of enzymes. To date ...
Analysis and evaluation of potential nutracentical milk and dairy products derived from the Centrale del latte di Salerno
(Universita degli studi di Salerno, 2015-03-16)
The main objective of my PhD has been focused to the analysis and characterization of milk and dairy products derived from “Centrale del Latte di Salerno” in order to assess their potential use as dietary supplements and ...
Design, synthesis and biological evaluation of new non-nucleosidic inhibitors od DNA methyltransferases
(Universita degli studi di Salerno, 2013-04-03)
The inactivation of tumor suppressor genes, which often results from epigenetic silencing associated with DNA hypermethylation, plays a pivotal role in the development of most forms of human cancer. Moreover, there are ...
The design and synthesis of novel N-heterocyclic compounds, and their evaluation of anti-cancer and anti-viral activity
(Universita degli studi di Salerno, 2014-05-21)
The thesis entitled “The design and synthesis of novel N-heterocyclic compounds, and their evaluation of anti-cancer and anti-viral activity" is divided into three chapters.
The title of the thesis clearly reflects the ...
Biophysical investigation of biomolecules in bio-membrane models
(Universita degli studi di Salerno, 2012-05-30)
Many drugs are available for the treatment of systemic or superficial mycoses,
but only a limited number of them are effective antifungal drugs, devoid of
toxic and undesirable side effects. Therefore there remains an ...
Biomolecular and biophysical approaches to interrogate epigenetic targets: a platform for drug discovery
(Universita degli studi di Salerno, 2016-04-20)
The term epigenetics refers to heritable changes in gene expression that do not involve changes in the DNA sequence. A large number of enzymes, which act mainly on histone tails and DNA, carries out epigenetic modifications, ...
Design, synthesis, biological studies of new mitochondrial modulators improving neurological deficits in experimental models of Huntington's disease
(Universita degli studi di Salerno, 2017-03-22)
Design, synthesis and biological evaluation of new small-molecule modulators of Protein Methyltransferases (PMTs)
(Universita degli studi di Salerno, 2016-04-21)
A large amount of evidences indicate that dysregulation of protein methylation is linked to the genesis and progression of several human diseases, including cancer. Therefore over the past years small-molecule modulators ...
Synthesis of novel ligands for the stabilization of organometallic complexes having potential antitumor activity
(Universita degli studi di Salerno, 2016-05-04)
The design of new metal complexes as anticancer agents has received considerable interest in
recent years. Complexes of titanium (e.g.: titanocene dichloride), lanthanides complexes (e.g.:
texaphyrrins lanthanide) and ...
