Polyamines and applications. A look at the first workshop in linear and cyclic polyamines chemistry
2008
Given their versatile coordination properties, cyclic and linear polyamines are the subject of numerous worksin many research groups. This great interest is mainly related to their use in diverse fields such as removalof metals from liquids, purification of gases, application in catalysis, in sensors, as well as in various probesfor medical applications. This paper summarizes recent results obtained by the French research groupswhich attended the first ìworkshop in linear and cyclic polyamines chemistryî.

Inhibitory Effect of Azamacrocyclic Ligands on Polyphenol Oxidase in Model and Food Systems
2020
[EN] Enzymatic browning is one of the main problems faced by the food industry due to the enzyme polyphenol oxidase (PPO) provoking an undesirable color change in the presence of oxygen. Here, we report the evaluation of 10 different azamacrocyclic compounds with diverse morphologies as potential inhibitors against the activity of PPO, both in model and real systems. An initial screening of 10 ligands shows that all azamacrocyclic compounds inhibit to some extent the enzymatic browning, but the molecular structure plays a crucial role on the power of inhibition. Kinetic studies of the most active ligand (L2) reveal a S-parabolic I-parabolic noncompetitive inhibition mechanism and a remarkab…
