Journal ArticleDOI
Tandem radical decarboxylation-oxidation of amino acids: A mild and efficient method for the generation of N-acyliminium ions and their nucleophilic trapping
TL;DR: A convenient methodology for the synthesis of 2-substituted pyrrolidines from alpha-amino acids is described and high yields and modest diastereoselectivities were obtained.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Road from Host-Defense Peptides to a New Generation of Antimicrobial Drugs
TL;DR: The efforts to overcome problems and develop new antimicrobial drugs from these peptides or inspired by them are described, as well as the development of synthetic analogs with improved pharmacological properties.
Journal ArticleDOI
Random laser in biological tissues impregnated with a fluorescent anticancer drug
F. Lahoz,Inocencio R. Martín,M Urgellés,Jorge Marrero-Alonso,Raquel Marin,Carlos Javier Saavedra,Alicia Boto,Mario Díaz +7 more
TL;DR: Results show that RL could be obtained from other drugs, if properly marked with a fluorescent tag, which could be appealing for new forms of combined opto-chemical therapies.
Journal ArticleDOI
β-Fragmentation of Primary Alkoxyl Radicals versus Hydrogen Abstraction: Synthesis of Polyols and α,ω-Differently Substituted Cyclic Ethers from Carbohydrates
TL;DR: The β-fragmentation of primary alkoxyl radicals, described in many cases as low-yielding and plagued by side reactions, can proceed in satisfactory yields using carbohydrate substrates as discussed by the authors.
