Journal ArticleDOI

1,2,3‐Triazole in Heterocyclic Compounds, Endowed with Biological Activity, through 1,3‐Dipolar Cycloadditions

TL;DR: The 1,2,3-triazole skeleton can be present as a single disubstituted ring, as a linker between two molecules, or embedded in a polyheterocycle.
Journal ArticleDOI

DNA-binding of nickel(II), copper(II) and zinc(II) complexes: structure-affinity relationships

TL;DR: In this article, a review of the most recent examples of the three metal ions complexed with monodentate and chelating bidentate to tetradentate ligands to DNA is presented, and an attempt has also been made to rationalize the observed trend in the values of the intrinsic DNA-binding constant in terms of structural and chemical features.
Journal ArticleDOI

Molecular dynamics, dynamic site mapping, and highthroughput virtual screening on leptin and the Ob receptor as anti-obesity target

TL;DR: The main goal of this study was to suggest guidelines for the rational drug design of new agonists of leptin, and identified hits could be a consistent starting point to carry out in vitro testing.
Journal ArticleDOI

Nickel(II), copper(II) and zinc(II) metallo-intercalators: structural details of the DNA-binding by a combined experimental and computational investigation

TL;DR: In this paper, a thorough characterization of the interaction of novel nickel, copper and zinc base complexes with native calf thymus DNA (ct-DNA), in buffered aqueous solution at pH 7.5, was presented.
Journal ArticleDOI

Selective G-quadruplex stabilizers: Schiff-base metal complexes with anticancer activity

TL;DR: Overall, the PCR inhibition and anticancer activity of the three compounds decreases in the same order 1 > 2 ≈ 3, in excellent correlation with the G4-DNA-binding affinity, implying that G 4-DNA is the biotarget for their biological activity.
