Design and structural optimization of new molecules as potential antiinflammatory and/or anticancer agents.
(Universita degli studi di Salerno, 2015-03-10)L’infiammazione ed il cancro sono due complessi meccanismi patologici in cui risultano coinvolti una serie di differenti mediatori molecolari. La profonda connessione tra cancro ed infiammazione è ben nota e la modulazione ... -
Design and synthesis of modulators of apoptotic activity
(Universita degli studi di Salerno, 2016-03-23)p53 is a transcription factor with tumour suppressor properties, which is able to induce mitochondrial apoptosis independently of its transcriptional activity. Analogues of the spiro[imidazo[1,5-c] thiazole-3,3′-indoline] ... -
Design and synthesis of new integrase inhibitors
(Universita degli studi di Salerno, 2017-03-28)The viral enzyme integrase (IN) is essential for the replication of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) and represents an important target for the development of new antiretroviral drugs. In this PhD project, we ... -
Design and synthesis of new polycyclic compounds with potential anticancer activity
(Universita degli studi di Salerno, 2011-02-21)p53 is best known as a tumor suppressor that transcriptionally regulates, in response to cellular stresses such as DNA damage or oncogene activation, the expression of various target genes that mediate cell-cycle arrest, ... -
