sp2-Iminosugars targeting human lysosomal β-hexosaminidase as pharmacological chaperone candidates for late-onset Tay-Sachs disease
(Taylor & Francis, 2022)
The late-onset form of Tay-Sachs disease displays when the activity levels of human β-hexosaminidase A (HexA) fall below 10% of normal, due to mutations that destabilise the native folded form of the enzyme and impair its ...

Dynamic Control of the Self-Assembling Properties of Cyclodextrins by the Interplay of Aromatic and Host-Guest Interactions
(Frontiers Media, 2019)
The presence of a doubly-linked naphthylene clip at the O-2I and O-3II positions in the secondary ring of β-cyclodextrin (βCD) derivatives promoted their self-assembly into head-to-head supramolecular dimers in which 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 ...

Mannosyl-coated nanocomplexes from amphiphilic cyclodextrins and pDNA for site-specific gene delivery
(Elsevier, 2011-10)
Fully homogeneous facial amphiphiles consisting in a cyclodextrin (CD) platform onto which a polycationic cluster and a multi-tail hydrophobic moiety have been installed (polycationic amphiphilic CDs; paCDs) self-organized ...

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 ...

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 ...

Multivalent glycoligands with lectin/enzyme dual specificity: self-deliverable glycosidase regulators
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2019)
Multivalent mannosides with inherent macrophage recognition abilities, built on β-cyclodextrin, RAFT cyclopeptide or peptide dendrimer cores, trigger selective inhibition of lysosomal β-glucocerebrosidase or α-mannosidase ...

A Bicyclic 1-Deoxygalactonojirimycin Derivative as a Novel Pharmacological Chaperone for GM1 Gangliosidosis
(Cell Press, 2013)
Lysosomal β-galactosidase (β-Gal) deficiency causes a group of disorders that include neuronopathic GM1 gangliosidosis and non-neuronopathic Morquio B disease. We have previously proposed the use of small molecule ligands ...

Molecular Determinants for Cyclo-oligosaccharide-based Nanoparticle-mediated Effective siRNA Transfection
(Future Medicine Ltd., 2017)
Aim: To study the structural requirements that a cyclooligosaccharide-based nanoparticle must fulfill to be an efficient siRNA transfection vector. Materials & methods: siRNA protection from degradation by RNAses, transfection ...

Carbohydrate supramolecular chemistry: beyond the multivalent effect
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2020)
It has been amply constated that sugar ligand multivalency increases lectin-binding avidities dramatically, thereby modulating the capacity of carbohydrates to participate in supramolecular recognition processes involving ...
