Synthesis, characterization and cytotoxicity studies of novel organo-metallic compounds
(2015-04-24)
Despite the discovery of cis-platin in the treatment of cancer there has
been a considerable exploration on the antitumoral activity of other
transition metal complexes. One of the main problems about the
application of ...
Design and synthesis of peptides involved in the inhibition of influenza virus infection
(2017-03-28)
The main purpose of the present research project was the identification of peptide capable of exercising potent anti-influenza activity. We identified bovine lactoferrin (bLf) as drug target, a multifunctional glycoprotein ...
Design and synthesis of new integrase inhibitors
(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, synthesis and biological evaluation of new anticancer and/or anti-inflammatory agents
(2017-03-22)
One of the main goal of modern medicinal chemistry is the development of new agents able to modulate biological targets involved in inflammation and cancer processes. In this context, my PhD project was focused on the ...
Biomolecular and biophysical approaches to interrogate epigenetic targets: a platform for drug discovery
(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
(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 ...
Structural investigation of gp36-MPER in membrane mimicking systems
(2019-05-07)
FIV is a lentivirus that resembles the Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV). The lentiviral envelope glycoproteins (gp41 in HIV and gp36 in FIV) mediate virus entry by interacting with specific receptors present at the cell ...
Design, synthesis and biological studies of novel heterocyclic compounds as anticancer drugs
(2015-04-24)
Heterocyles are an essencial class of molecules, assuming a role in many aspect of
our life. Indeed heterocyclic nucleus is a common feature of several biomolecule and
bioactive compounds including agrochemical products ...
Design, synthesis and biological evaluation of new small-molecule modulators of proein lysine methyltransferases (PKMTs)
(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 ...
Rational design, synthesis and in vitro evaluation of cell-active chemical probes for bromodomain-containing proteins Alessandra
(2021-06-25)
Bromodomains (BRDs) are epigenetic readers able to selectively recognize the acetylated lysine residues on histone and non-histone proteins. Through their activity, bromodomain-containing proteins (BRDs) are involved in a ...
