New Synthetic Nitro-Pyrrolomycins as Promising Antibacterial and Anticancer Agents
2020
: Pyrrolomycins (PMs) are polyhalogenated antibiotics known as powerful biologically active compounds, yet featuring high cytotoxicity. The present study reports the antibacterial and antitumoral properties of new chemically synthesized PMs, where the three positions of the pyrrolic nucleus were replaced by nitro groups, aiming to reduce their cytotoxicity while maintaining or even enhancing the biological activity. Indeed, the presence of the nitro substituent in diverse positions of the pyrrole determined an improvement of the minimal bactericidal concentration (MBC) against Gram-positive (i.e., Staphylococcus aureus) or -negative (i.e., Pseudomonas aeruginosa) pathogen strains as compare…
Myeloid-Derived Suppressor Cells Specifically Suppress IFN-γ Production and Antitumor Cytotoxic Activity of Vδ2 T Cells.
2018
γδ T cells represent less than 5% of circulating T cells; they exert a potent cytotoxic function against tumor or infected cells and secrete cytokines like conventional αβ T cells. As αβ T cells γδ T cells reside in the typical T cell compartments (the lymph nodes and spleen), but are more widely distributed in tissues throughout the body. For these reasons, some investigators are exploring the possibility of immunotherapies aimed to expand and activate Vδ2 T cells, or using them as Chimeric Antigen Receptor carriers. However, the role of immunosuppressive microenvironment on Vδ2 T cells during infections and cancers has not been completely elucidated. In particular, the effects of myeloid-…

Multiproperty complexes of 4d and 4f metal ions based on biomolecules: from fundamental research to potential applications
2023
El trabajo desarrollado en esta Tesis se enmarca en el campo de la Química de Coordinación y el Magnetismo Molecular, vectores base para el desarrollo de múltiples aplicaciones en Nanomedicina y Nanotecnología. El estudio de los compuestos de coordinación tiene una larga historia que se remonta a principios del siglo XIX, con notables contribuciones de químicos como Berzelius y Jørgensen. Esta rama de la química se centra en la comprensión de las propiedades de unión de los ligandos (moléculas o aniones donadores de electrones) a los iones metálicos. Las teorías de Alfred Werner sobre la coordinación de iones metálicos a principios del siglo XX marcaron un hito importante en este campo. El …
Mixotrophy in a Local Strain of Nannochloropsis granulata for Renewable High-Value Biomass Production on the West Coast of Sweden
2022
A local strain of Nannochloropsis granulata (Ng) has been reported as the most productive microalgal strain in terms of both biomass yield and lipid content when cultivated in photobioreactors that simulate the light and temperature conditions during the summer on the west coast of Sweden. To further increase the biomass and the biotechnological potential of this strain in these conditions, mixotrophic growth (i.e., the simultaneous use of photosynthesis and respiration) with glycerol as an external carbon source was investigated in this study and compared with phototrophic growth that made use of air enriched with 1–2% CO2. The addition of either glycerol or CO2-enriched air stimulated the…
