Syntheses of polyfunctionalized resveratrol derivatives using Wittig and Heck protocols
2012
Improved protocols for Wittig reaction and palladium-catalyzed Heck coupling give expedient access to a series of unprecedented polyfunctionalized artificial-resveratrol derivatives. In the modified Wittig protocol, trimethylsilyl was used as a highly valuable protective group of the phenolic functions of starting aromatic materials. A clean O-alkylation of hydroxylated stilbenes with ethylene carbonate was also conducted. Thus, Wittig reaction followed by hydroxyethylation take place one-pot with only carbon dioxide as waste. Additionally, a palladium-catalyzed Heck coupling strategy was developed by using ferrocenyl phosphane ligands, and multi-functionalized hydroxylated stilbenes were o…
Rearranged abietane diterpenoids from the root of teucrium polium subsp. vincentinum
1990
Abstract From the root of Teucrium polium subsp. vincentinum (Labiatae) four new rearranged abietane derivatives, teuvincenones A, B, C, and D (1-4, respectively), have been isolated. Two of these compounds, teuvincenones C (3) and D (4), possess a novel hydrocarbon skeleton which contains a cyclopropane ring constituted by the C-3, C-4, and C-18 carbons of the 17(15→16)-abeo-abietane framework. The structures of these diterpenoids were established mainly by spectroscopic means and, in the case of teuvincenones A (1) and C (3), also confirmed by X-ray diffraction analyses.

Structure-Activity Relationship of Histamine Analogues. XXII: Absolute Configuration and Histamine-like Activity of the Enantiomeric α, Nα-Dimethylhistamines The synthesis of the enantiomeric α, Nα-Dimethylhistamines (+)—3 and (−)—3, the determination of the absolute configuration and the histamine-like activity of the enantiomers on the guinea-pig ileum (H1) and atrium (H2) are reported.
2-Substituierte Histamine 3. Mitt. über Struktur-Wirkungs-Beziehungen bei Histaminanaloga
1974
Es wurden verschiedene 2-substituierte Histaminderivate aus den entsprechenden 2-substituierten Imidazol-4-carbinolen dargestellt und am isolierten Ileum des Meerschweinchens auf ihre histaminartige Wirkung untersucht. 2-Substituted Histamines Some 2-substituted derivatives of histamine were synthesized from 2-substituted imidazole-4-carbinols. The histamine- or antihistamine — like activity of the resulting compounds was tested on isolated guinea pig ileum.

Conformational investigation of α,β‐dehydropeptides. XV: N‐acetyl‐α,β‐dehydroamino acid N ′N ′‐dimethylamides: conformational properties from infrare…
2005
The FTIR spectra were analysed in the region of the nu(s)(N-H), AI(C=O) and nu(s)(Calpha=Cbeta) bands for a series of Ac-DeltaXaa-NMe2, where DeltaXaa = DeltaAla, (Z)-DeltaAbu, (Z)-DeltaLeu, (Z)-DeltaPhe and DeltaVal, to determine a predominant solution conformation of these alpha,beta-dehydropeptide-related molecules. Measurements were taken in CCl4, DCM and MeCN solutions. In the same way, spectra of saturated analogues Ac-Xaa-NMe2, where Xaa = Ala, Abu, Leu, Phe and Val, were investigated. To help interpret the spectroscopic results, conformational maps were calculated by the B3LYP/6-31+G** method. Also, the relative energies of all conformers of the dehydro compounds in vacuo as well as…
Pluripotent stem cells to model Hutchinson-Gilford progeria syndrome (HGPS): Current trends and future perspectives for drug discovery
2015
Progeria, or Hutchinson-Gilford progeria syndrome (HGPS), is a rare, fatal genetic disease characterized by an appearance of accelerated aging in children. This syndrome is typically caused by mutations in codon 608 (p.G608G) of the LMNA, leading to the production of a mutated form of lamin A precursor called progerin. In HGPS, progerin accumulates in cells causing progressive molecular defects, including nuclear shape abnormalities, chromatin disorganization, damage to DNA and delays in cell proliferation. Here we report how, over the past five years, pluripotent stem cells have provided new insights into the study of HGPS and opened new original therapeutic perspectives to treat the disea…
Current development of CFTR potentiators in the last decade
2020
Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a genetic disorder produced by the loss of function of CFTR, a main chloride channel involved in transepithelial salt and water transport. CFTR function can be rescued by small molecules called "potentiators" which increase gating activity of CFTR on epithelial surfaces. High throughput screening (HTS) assays allowed the identification of new chemical entities endowed with potentiator properties, further improved through medicinal chemistry optimization. In this review, the most relevant classes of CFTR potentiators developed in the last decade were explored, focusing on structure-activity relationships (SAR) of the different chemical entities, as a useful tool for t…
Lonoctocog alfa (rVIII-SingleChain) for the treatment of haemophilia A
2017
Introduction: The administration of factor VIII (FVIII) concentrates on-demand or on long-term prophylaxis is the effective and safe standard of care of patients with hemophilia A (HA). Development of neutralizing antibodies against exogenous FVIII and the short half-life of the current available products remain major challenges. There is currently a great interest towards newer FVIII products with the goal of reducing the inhibitor risk and increasing the half-life. Area covered: In this review, the authors describe the efficacy and safety of rVIII-SingleChain (Lonoctocog alfa), the first and only single chain recombinant FVIII (rFVIII) molecule developed for the prevention and treatment o…
