Toward a Suitable Structural Analysis of Gene Delivery Carrier Based on Polycationic Carbohydrates by Electron Transfer Dissociation Tandem Mass Spectrometry
(Elsevier, 2016)
Polycationic carbohydrates represent an attractive class of biomolecules for several applications and particularly as non viral gene delivery vectors. In this case, the establishment of structure-biological activity ...

Glycomimetic-based pharmacological chaperones for lysosomal storage disorders: lessons from Gaucher, GM1-gangliosidosis and Fabry diseases
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2016)
Lysosomal storage disorders (LSDs) are often caused by mutations that destabilize native folding and impair the trafficking of enzymes, leading to premature endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-associated degradation, deficiencies ...

Cyclodextrin- and calixarene-based polycationic amphiphiles as gene delivery systems: A structure-activity relationship study
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2015)
Multi-head/multi-tail facial amphiphiles built on cyclodextrin (CD) and calixarene (CA) scaffolds are paradigmatic examples of monodisperse gene delivery systems. The possibility to precisely control the architectural ...

Understanding multivalent effects in glycosidase inhibition using C-glycoside click clusters as molecular probes
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2016)
The synthesis of the first examples of multivalent C-glycosides based on C60-fullerene or β-cyclodextrin cores by way of Cu(I)-catalyzed azide–alkyne cycloadditions is reported. These compounds were designed as molecular ...

Efficient stereoselective synthesis of 2-acetamido-1,2-dideoxyallonojirimycin (DAJNAc) and sp2-iminosugar conjugates: Novel hexosaminidase inhibitors with discrimination capabilities between the mature and precursor forms of the enzyme
(Elsevier, 2016)
Due to their capacity to inhibit hexosaminidases, 2-acetamido-1,2-dideoxy-iminosugars have been widely studied as potential therapeutic agents for various diseases. An efficient stereoselective synthesis of 2-acetamido-1 ...

Pharmacological Chaperones for the Treatment of α-Mannosidosis
(American Chemical Society, 2019)
α-Mannosidosis (AM) results from deficient lysosomal α-mannosidase (LAMAN) activity and subsequent substrate accumulation in the lysosome, leading to severe pathology. Many of the AM-causative mutations compromise enzyme ...

sp2-Iminosugar Glycolipids as Inhibitors of Lipopolysaccharide-mediated Human Dendritic Cell Activation in Vitro and of Acute Inflammation in Mice in Vivo
(Elsevier, 2019)
Glycolipid mimetics consisting of a bicyclic polyhydroxypiperidine-cyclic carbamate core and a pseudoanomeric hydrophobic tail, termed sp2-iminosugar glycolipids (sp2-IGLs), target microglia during neuroinflammatory ...
