Design, synthesis and biological evaluation of new small molecule modulators of Arginine methyltransferases
(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 ...
Design and synthesis of “small molecules” as antiviral and radiotracer agents
(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 ...
The design and synthesis of novel N-heterocyclic compounds, and their evaluation of anti-cancer and anti-viral activity
(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
(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, synthesis and biological evaluation of new non-nucleosidic inhibitors od DNA methyltransferases
(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 ...
Characterization and biological properties of Citrus industrial derivatives and waste products for the formulation of nutraceuticals
(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 ...
Analysis and evaluation of potential nutracentical milk and dairy products derived from the Centrale del latte 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, biological evaluation and binding studies of new small-molecule modulators of KDMs (lysine-specific demethylases)
(2017-03-27)
JHDMs (JmjC-domain-containing histone demethylases) are the largest class of demethylase enzymes, contain a Jumonji C (JmjC) domain and catalyze lysine demethylation of histones through an oxidative reaction that requires ...
Design and synthesis of modulators of apoptotic activity
(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] ...
NMR-based metabolomic analysis of biological fluids to monitor relevant unsolved diseases
(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 ...
