Despite the widespread use of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) in different fields and the amount of investigations available, to date, there are many contradictory results on their potential toxicity. In the...
We report a stereoselective, multicomponent catalytic carbonylative approach to a new class of ?,?-unsaturated ?-lactam derivatives with potential biological activity, that are, alkyl (Z)2-(2-oxopyrrolidin-3-ylidene)acetates. Our method is based on the...
Algae emerge as leading actors for the development of new strategies to cope oxidative stress, thanks to their availability for genetic manipulation and simple cultivation. This study reports the design...
Herein we describe the design and synthesis of novel artificial peptides mimicking the plastoquinone binding niche of the D1 protein from the green photosynthetic alga Chlamydomonas reinhardtii, also able to...
In this research work, our central focus is upon a novel organic-inorganic hybrid material with an efficient broadband green light emission based on a tin halide (CHN)[SnCl] of the general...
We investigated several strategies, based on the use of microwave-assisted solid-phase peptide synthesis (MW-SPPS) and scalable to kilogram-scale manufacturing, for the preparation of Eptifibatide, a disulfide-bridged cyclo-heptapeptide drug approved as...
Multivariate analysis (MA) is becoming a fundamental tool for processing in an efficient way the large amount of data collected in X-ray diffraction experiments. Multi-wedge data collections can increase the...
Hydroxyl radical (HO) is the most reactive toward DNA among the reactive oxygen species (ROS) generated in aerobic organisms by cellular metabolisms. HO is generated also by exogenous sources such...
A systematic study is conducted to compare the performances and stability of active layers employing a high performance electron donor (PBDB-T) combined with state-of-the-art fullerene (PC71BM), nonfullerene (ITIC), and polymer...
Being the most abundant non-macromolecular organic component of bone, the role of citrate (Cit) in hydroxyapatite (HA) crystallization is of high relevance. In this work we have investigated the influence...
