A soluble biocompatible guanidine-containing polyamidoamine as promoter of primary brain cell adhesion andin vitrocell culturing
2014
This paper reports on a novel application of an amphoteric water-soluble polyamidoamine named AGMA1 bearing 4-butylguanidine pendants. AGMA1 is an amphoteric, prevailingly cationic polyelectrolyte with isoelectric point of about 10. At pH 7.4 it is zwitterionic with an average of 0.55 excess positive charges per unit, notwithstanding it is highly biocompatible. In this work, it was found that AGMA1 surface-adsorbed on cell culturing coverslips exhibits excellent properties as adhesion and proliferation promoter of primary brain cells such as microglia, as well as of hippocampal neurons and astrocytes. Microglia cells cultured on AGMA1-coated coverslips substrate displayed the typical restin…
Synthetic and theoretical studies of novel ring closure and ring opening reactions
2006
Ring closure and ring opening reactions are in many cases useful synthetic procedures in organic chemistry. They allow the preparation of complex molecules with high stereoselectivity and good yields. Mechanistic and theoretical studies have been carried out on the transformation of 2-aminopyrimidines into imidazo[1,2-c]pyrimidines and guanidines, respectively, through ring closure and ring opening reactions, as well as the transamidation reactions through the ring closure and ring opening of guanidine derivatives, which constitute novel synthetic methods.
