Calprotectin in lung diseases
(2021)Calprotectin (CLP) is a heterodimer formed by two S‐100 calcium‐binding cytosolic pro-teins, S100A8 and S100A9. It is a multifunctional protein expressed mainly by neutrophils and released extracellularly by activated or ... -
Chimeric stimuli-responsive liposomes as nanocarriers for the delivery of the anti-glioma agent TRAM-34
(2021)Nanocarriers are delivery platforms of drugs, peptides, nucleic acids and other therapeutic molecules that are indicated for severe human diseases. Gliomas are the most frequent type of brain tumor, with glioblastoma being ... -
Chios mastic gum: A plant-produced resin exhibiting numerous diverse pharmaceutical and biomedical prοperties
(2012)Chios mastic gum (CMG) is a resin produced by the plant Pistacia lentiscus var. chia. CMG is used to extract the mastic gum essential oil (MGO). CMG and MGO consist of nearly 70 constituents and have demonstrated numerous ... -
Chloramphenicol derivatives as antibacterial and anticancer agents: Historic problems and current solutions
(2016)Chloramphenicol (CAM) is the D-threo isomer of a small molecule, consisting of a p-nitrobenzene ring connected to a dichloroacetyl tail through a 2-amino-1,3-propanediol moiety. CAM displays a broad-spectrum bacteriostatic ... -
Design, synthesis, and biological evaluation of novel C5-modified pyrimidine ribofuranonucleosides as potential antitumor or/and antiviral agents
(2020)Background: Nucleoside analogues are well-known antitumor, antiviral, and chemotherapeutic agents. Alterations on both their sugar and the heterocyclic parts may lead to significant changes in the spectrum of their biological ... -
Development and evaluation of liposomal nanoparticles incorporating dimethoxycurcumin. In vitro toxicity and permeability studies
(2022)Liposomes belong to the class of drug delivery nanosystems and are widely used for the incorporation and delivery of lipophilic drug molecules. The present work deals with the physicochemical characterization of different ... -
Development of a new series of aryl ureido derivatives as anticancer agents against breast cancer cells
(2010)Breast cancer is the second cause of cancer mortality worldwide in humans and half of all tumours in dogs and there is an unmet need for novel anticancer agents. I have developed a new series of aryl ureido derivatives as ... -
Discovery of N-Phenyl-4-(thiazol-5-yl)pyrimidin-2-amine aurora kinase inhibitors
