Glycoligand-targeted core-shell nanospheres with tunable drug release profiles from calixarene-cyclodextrin heterodimers
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2014)
Stable core–shell nanospheres self-assemble in water from heterodimers combining a hydrophobic calix[4]arene moiety and a hydrophilic β-cyclodextrin head; their potential to encapsulate and provide sustained release of the ...

Pharmacological chaperone therapy for Gaucher disease: A patent review
(Taylor & Francis, 2011)
Introduction: Mutations in the gene encoding for acid β-glucosidase (β-glucocerebrosidase, GlcCerase) are seen in Gaucher disease (GD), which give rise to significant protein misfolding effects and result in progressive ...

Cell uptake mechanisms of glycosylated cationic pDNA-cyclodextrin nanoparticles
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2015)
The incorporation of carbohydrate functional elements in the architecture of polycationic amphiphilic cyclodextrins (paCDs) provides glycosylated paCDs (pGaCDs) that form transfectious nanocomplexes (glycoCDplexes) with ...

Conformationally-locked N -glycosides: Exploiting long-range non-glycone interactions in the design of pharmacological chaperones for Gaucher disease
(Elsevier, 2015)
Pyranoid-type glycomimetics having a cis-1,2-fused glucopyranose–2-alkylsulfanyl-1,3-oxazoline (Glc-PSO) structure exhibit an unprecedented specificity as inhibitors of mammalian β-glucosidase. Notably, their inhibitory ...

Trehalose- and Glucose-Derived Glycoamphiphiles: Small-Molecule and Nanoparticle Toll-Like Receptor 4 (TLR4) Modulators
(American Chemical Society, 2014)
An increasing number of pathologies have been linked to Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) activation and signaling, therefore new hit and lead compounds targeting this receptor activation process are urgently needed. We report ...
