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 ...
Design, virtual screening and structural studies of new molecules with potential antitumor and antiinflammatory activity
(2012-03-30)
Computational methodologies in combination with experimental techniques as Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) have become a crucial component in drug discovery process, from hit identification to lead optimization.
The study ...
Exploring the chemical diversity in marine organisms: new molecules for pharmaceutical applications
(2012-02-23)
It is increasingly recognized that the oceans preserve a huge number of natural products and novel chemical entities, with biological activities that may be useful in the quest for finding drugs with greater efficacy and ...
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] ...
Proteomic profiles of cultured cells stimulated with VEGFs dimers and search for natural compounds angiogenesis inhibitors
(2013-06-06)
Some members of the vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) family, such as VEGF and PlGF, and related receptors (KDR and Flt-1) play a key role in the modulation of angiogenesis, both physiological and pathological. For ...
Design, synthesis and biological evaluation of new small-molecule modulators of Protein Methyltransferases (PMTs)
(2016-04-21)
A large amount of evidences indicate that dysregulation of protein methylation is linked to the genesis and progression of several human diseases, including cancer. Therefore over the past years small-molecule modulators ...
Design, synthesis and biological evaluation of new small molecules with anti-inflammatory activity
(2015-03-18)
Per lipossigenasi (nota più comunemente con l'abbreviazione di LOX o LO) si intende una famiglia eterogenea di enzimi in grado di perossidare i lipidi e di causare l'ossigenazione di acidi grassi polinsaturi trasformandoli, ...
NMR study of protein-ligand interaction
(2015-03-11)
My PhD project was focused on the study of protein-ligands interactions using different NMR techniques. NMR has a long history in drug discovery and hit-to-lead optimization. Compared to many other biophysical techniques, ...
