Interactome analysis of bioactive molecules: optimization of a functional proteomics platform
(Universita degli studi di Salerno, 2020-10-24)The identification of natural products (NPs) target proteins is pivotal to understand their mechanism of action, in order to develop molecular probes and/or potential drugs. In the last 15 years, affinity chromatogra ... -
Valorization of typical agricultural productions and related biomasses as sources of bioactive compounds
(Universita degli studi di Salerno, 2019-11-05)Main target of this PhD project was to define the metabolome of the main by-products, and in certain cases of the edible parts, of selected agroalimentary productions, that are the flowers of Opuntia ficus indica Mill. ... -
Design, synthesis and biological activity of new target selective antitumoral agents
(Universita degli studi di Salerno, 2018-04-05)Cancer development is a complex pathological process that exploits a variety of biological actors. The identification of new molecular entities able to interfere with new biological targets, involved in tumorigenesis, is ... -
Design, synthesis and biological evaluation of new small-molecule modulators of proein lysine methyltransferases (PKMTs)
(Universita degli studi di Salerno, 2018-04-20)Histone lysine methyltransferases have crucial roles in a number of biological processes and human diseases by controlling gene expression and chromatin state. Within this family, the lysine methyltransferase G9a has emerged ... -
Molecular basis of cardiomiopathy
(Universita degli studi di Salerno, 2018-04-05)The normal heart rhythm is guaranteed by an important intercellular junctions system, named Gap Junction (GJs). Each GJs consists of two units called connexons formed by six specific trans-membrane proteins named connexins ... -
Computational design of new antimicrobial peptides
(Universita degli studi di Salerno, 2018-04-13)Antimicrobial peptides (AMP) are evolutionarily conserved components of the innate immune system. They have a broad spectrum of action against bacteria, fungi and viruses. Therefore, AMP are studied as probable substitutes ... -
Drug delivery to the lung in Cystic Fibrosis: deposition, dissolution, mucus interaction and microbiological evaluation of dry powder inhalers
(Universita degli studi di Salerno, 2018-04-05)The inhalation therapy consists of a direct administration of drugs for the treatment of lung diseases. A formulation for inhalation is a valid option in the symptomatic management of pulmonary diseases typical of cystic ... -
In vitro effects of bioactive extracts of local Italian cultivars: from molecular mechanisms to potential nutraceutical applications for consumers’ well-being
(Universita degli studi di Salerno, 2017-03-31)Phytochemicals are non-nutritional compounds, naturally present in food and beverages, which exert beneficial effects on human health. The present Doctorate Thesis evaluates the biological properties of bioactive ... -
Role of TFF1 in tumor progression
(Universita degli studi di Salerno, 2017-03-31)Trefoil Factor 1 (TFF1) is a small secreted protein, belonging to the trefoil factor family, characterized by a conserved “trefoil domain” containing six cysteine residues that form a three loop disulphide structure. It ... -
NMR-based metabolomic analysis of biological fluids to monitor relevant unsolved diseases
(Universita degli studi di Salerno, 2017-03-30)Metabolomics and metabonomics encompass the comprehensive profiling of multiple metabolite concentrations and their cellular and systemic fluctuations in response to drugs, diet, lifestyle, environment, stimuli and genetic ... -
Bioactives from agricultural food by-products: application in food and health
(Universita degli studi di Salerno, 2017-04-04)Agriculture and agri-food industry produce a large amount of residues in non-edible portions from cultivation and processing of crops. These wastes, considered by-products, give serious environment damage, if not properly ... -
Neurodegeneration in Chronic Kidney Disease: role of neuroinflammation and uremic toxins
(Universita degli studi di Salerno, 2017-03-28)Neuroinflammation and oxidative stress have been recognized as common aspects in neurodegenerative diseases. Although the inflammatory process may induce beneficial effects, such as the elimination of the pathogen, ... -
Chronotherapeutic Drug Delivery in Early Morning Pathologies: Design and Production of new NSAIDs/SAIDs polysaccharide-based systems
(Universita degli studi di Salerno, 2017-03-28)The major technological challenge encountered when formulating new dosage forms is to find a way to adapt drug release kinetics to specific clinical requirements, with the aim to enhance the therapeutic action of both new ...
