Journal ArticleDOI
Biomedical applications of copper ionophores
TL;DR: An overview of the leading known copper ionophores is provided, focusing on the coordination chemistry, biochemistry, and mechanism of actions of the reported copper ions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Soluble Sugar-Based Quinoline Derivatives as New Antioxidant Modulators of Metal-Induced Amyloid Aggregation
Valentina Oliveri,Giuseppa Ida Grasso,Francesco Bellia,Francesco Attanasio,Maurizio Viale,Graziella Vecchio +5 more
TL;DR: The design and the characterization of four new multifunctional sugar-appended 8-hydroxyquinolines focusing on the effects of the conjugation with trehalose, a nonreducing disaccharide involved in the protection of proteins and cells against environmental stresses are reported.
Journal ArticleDOI
New 8-hydroxyquinoline galactosides. The role of the sugar in the antiproliferative activity of copper(II) ionophores.
TL;DR: A series of new galactoconjugates of 8-hydroxyquinolines with pharmacologically relevant antiproliferative activity against specific tumor cells in the presence of copper(II) ions were designed and synthesized.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cyclodextrins as Protective Agents of Protein Aggregation: An Overview.
TL;DR: This review overviews, for the first time, the use of cyclodextrins and their derivatives as antiaggregant agents in a number of proteins (e.g., amyloid-β, insulin, recombinant human growth hormone, prion protein, transthyretin, and α-synuclein) and some multimeric enzymes.
Journal ArticleDOI
New conjugates of β-cyclodextrin with manganese(III) salophen and porphyrin complexes as antioxidant systems
TL;DR: The synthesis and spectroscopic characterization of manganese(III) complexes of 5[4-(6-O-β-cyclodextrin)-phenyl],10,15,20-tri(4-hydroxyphenyl)-porphyrin and 6(A)-deoxy-6(A)[(S-cysteamidobenzoyl(3,4-diamino)-N,N'-bis(salicylidene))]-β
