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 ...
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 ...
Characterization and biological properties of Citrus industrial derivatives and waste products for the formulation of nutraceuticals
(Universita degli studi di Salerno, 2015-03-16)
Polyphenols are natural chemical compounds, common in higher plants as and particularly known and appreciated for their health properties. We focused attention on Citrus bergamia, Citrus sinensis, Mela annurca and Vitis ...
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 and synthesis of bioactive small molecules by traditional and innovative methods
(Universita degli studi di Salerno, 2018-03-28)
My PhD research plan concerns the exploration of the structural requirements determining TRPM8 modulation. We prepared a series of N-substituted tryptamines and identified two compounds acting, respectively, as an activator ...
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 ...
