Tuning the activity of iminosugars: novel N-alkylated deoxynojirimycin derivatives as strong BuChE inhibitors
(Taylor & Francis Open Access, 2021)
We have designed unprecedented cholinesterase inhibitors based on 1-deoxynojirimycin as potential anti-Alzheimer’s agents. Compounds are comprised of three key structural motifs: the iminosugar, for interaction with ...

Multienzymatic processes involving baeyer–villiger monooxygenases
(Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute (MDPI), 2021)
Baeyer–Villiger monooxygenases (BVMOs) are flavin-dependent oxidative enzymes capable of catalyzing the insertion of an oxygen atom between a carbonylic Csp2 and the Csp3 at the alpha position, therefore transforming linear ...

Inter-Ligand STD NMR: An Efficient 1D NMR Approach to Probe Relative Orientation of Ligands in a Multi-Subsite Protein Binding Pocket
(Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute (MDPI), 2022)
In recent years, Saturation Transfer Difference NMR (STD NMR) has been proven to be a powerful and versatile ligand-based NMR technique to elucidate crucial aspects in the investigation of protein-ligand complexes. Novel ...

Uncovering a novel molecular mechanism for scavenging sialic acids in bacteria
(American Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, 2020)
The human gut symbiont Ruminococcus gnavus scavenges host-derived N-acetylneuraminic acid (Neu5Ac) from mucins by converting it to 2,7-anhydro-Neu5Ac. We previously showed that 2,7-anhydro-Neu5Ac is transported into R. ...

Cyclodextrin-Based Functional Glyconanomaterials
(MDPI, 2020-12)
Cyclodextrins (CDs) have long occupied a prominent position in most pharmaceutical laboratories as “off-the-shelve” tools to manipulate the pharmacokinetics of a broad range of active principles, due to their unique ...

Synthesis and Structure-activity Relationship of New Nicotinamide Phosphoribosyltransferase Inhibitors with Antitumor Activity on Solid and Haematological Cancer
(Elsevier, 2023)
Cancer cells are highly dependent on Nicotinamide phosphoribosyltransferase (NAMPT) activity for proliferation, therefore NAMPT represents an interesting target for the development of anti-cancer drugs. Several compounds, ...

Influence of the surfactant degree of oligomerization on the formation of cyclodextrin: surfactant inclusion complexes
(Elsevier, 2020)
Supramolecular complexation is an attractive strategy to modulate the performance of surfactants, e.g., by host-guest interactions. Here, we investigate the interaction of single-chained, di-, tri-, and tetrameric cationic ...

Transferring Substituents from Alkynes to Furans and Pyrroles through Heteronorbornadienes as Intermediates: Synthesis of β-Substituted Pyrroles/Furans
(American Chemical Society, 2023)
The use of 7-oxa/azanorbornadienes as synthetic intermediates for the preparation of 3/4-substituted (β-substituted) furans/pyrroles is presented. The method lies in the inverse electron demand Diels-Alder (iEDDA) cycloaddition ...
