• Aqueous Solubility Enhancement for Bioassays of Insoluble Inhibitors and QSPR Analysis: A TNF-α Study 

      Mettou A., Papaneophytou C., Melagraki G., Maranti A., Liepouri F., Alexiou P., Papakyriakou A., Couladouros E., Eliopoulos E., Afantitis A., Kontopidis G. (2018)
      The aim of this study is to improve the aqueous solubility of a group of compounds without interfering with their bioassay as well as to create a relevant prediction model. A series of 55 potential small-molecule inhibitors ...
    • Discovery of N-Phenyl-4-(thiazol-5-yl)pyrimidin-2-amine aurora kinase inhibitors 

      Wang, S.; Midgley, C. A.; Scaërou, F.; Grabarek, J. B.; Griffiths, G.; Jackson, W.; Kontopidis, G.; McClue, S. J.; McInnes, C.; Meades, C.; Mezna, M.; Plater, A.; Stuart, I.; Thomas, M. P.; Wood, G.; Clarke, R. G.; Blake, D. G.; Zheleva, D. I.; Lane, D. P.; Jackson, R. C.; Glover, D. M.; Fischer, P. M. (2010)
      Through cell-based screening of our kinase-directed compound collection, we discovered that a subset of N-phenyl-4-(thiazol-5-yl)pyrimidin-2-amines were potent cytotoxic agents against cancer cell lines, suppressed mitotic ...
    • In vitro and in vivo assessment of vitamin A encapsulation in a liposome–protein delivery system 

      Rovoli M., Pappas I., Lalas S., Gortzi O., Kontopidis G. (2019)
      Vitamin A (VA) is an essential nutrient needed in small amounts by humans and supports a wide range of biological actions. Retinol, the most common and most biologically active form of VA has also been found to inhibit ...
    • Nanosystems for the encapsulation of natural products: The case of chitosan biopolymer as a matrix 

      Detsi A., Kavetsou E., Kostopoulou I., Pitterou I., Pontillo A.R.N., Tzani A., Christodoulou P., Siliachli A., Zoumpoulakis P. (2020)
      Chitosan is a cationic natural polysaccharide, which has emerged as an increasingly interesting biomaterialover the past few years. It constitutes a novel perspective in drug delivery systems and nanocarriers’ formulations ...
