Design, synthesis, biological evaluation and binding studies of new small-molecule modulators of KDMs (lysine-specific demethylases)
(Universita degli studi di Salerno, 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 ... -
Role of the inflammasome in lung cancer Inflammasome is involved in lung carcinogenesis
(Universita degli studi di Salerno, 2017-03-28)Lung cancer is recognized as one of the most devastating tumor worldwide due to the low rate survival over 5 years from the time of diagnosis. Inflammation has been widely recognized as the seventh hallmark of cancer as ... -
Study of the mechanism of action of bioactive plants tarpenoids
(Universita degli studi di Salerno, 2016-05-06)Natural products are small-molecule secondary metabolites displaying considerable structural complexity and “privileged scaffolds”. They are able to bind several endogenous targets eliciting biological effects as chemical ... -
Design and synthesis of modulators of apoptotic activity
(Universita degli studi di Salerno, 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] ... -
