New Approaches to Cancer Therapy: Combining Fatty Acid Amide Hydrolase (FAAH) Inhibition with Peroxisome Proliferator-Activated Receptors (PPARs) Activation
TL;DR: The development of novel FAAH inhibitors able to directly act as PPAR agonists are discussed and their promising utilization as leads for the discovery of highly effective anti-cancer compounds are discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Natural Compounds for the Prevention and Treatment of Cardiovascular and Neurodegenerative Diseases.
Rosalba Leuci,Leonardo Brunetti,Viviana Poliseno,Antonio Laghezza,Fulvio Loiodice,Paolo Tortorella,Luca Piemontese +6 more
TL;DR: A review of the most recent literature regarding the discovery of secondary metabolites through isolation and structural elucidation, as well as the in vitro and/or in vivo evaluation of their biological effects is discussed in this article.
Journal ArticleDOI
Deep Eutectic Solvents as Effective Reaction Media for the Synthesis of 2-Hydroxyphenylbenzimidazole-based Scaffolds en Route to Donepezil-Like Compounds.
Luca Piemontese,Roberta Sergio,Federica Rinaldo,Leonardo Brunetti,Filippo Maria Perna,M. Amélia Santos,Vito Capriati +6 more
TL;DR: The whole synthesis of PZ1 in the so-called deep eutectic solvents (DESs), which have emerged as an unconventional class of bio-renewable reaction media in green synthesis, is designed and completed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Importance of Biometals as Targets in Medicinal Chemistry: An Overview about the Role of Zinc (II) Chelating Agents
Rosalba Leuci,Leonardo Brunetti,Antonio Laghezza,Fulvio Loiodice,Paolo Tortorella,Luca Piemontese +5 more
TL;DR: The significance of zinc (II) chelating agents in past and future medicinal chemistry research is focused on the importance of selectivity in order to revamp the possibility of their use in therapy, often hindered by possible side effects.
Journal ArticleDOI

Viviana Poliseno,Viviana Poliseno,Sílvia Chaves,Leonardo Brunetti,Fulvio Loiodice,Antonio Carrieri,Antonio Laghezza,Paolo Tortorella,João D. Magalhães,Sandra M. Cardoso,M. Amélia Santos,Luca Piemontese +11 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used tenuazonic acid (TA) as a chemical scaffold to synthesize and evaluate new derivatives (1, 2, 3, 4, 5) of the anti-AD drug donepezil, which achieved activity in the micromolar range towards all selected targets and demonstrated to be potentially orally absorbed.
