Research Interests
Synthetic Organic and Medicinal Chemistry [main]
- Discovery and development of small organic molecules and of natural product analogues/ derivatives (e.g. abietanes; polyamines; endoperoxides; retinoids; psoralens) with anticancer (Hedgehod pathway inhibitors; Cancer Stem Cell differentiators; Anti-angiogenic agents), antibacterial (against MRSA strains) and antimalarial activity.
- Synthesis of Multitarget Inhibitors and of Hybrids or Bioconjugates aiming at improvement of the pharmacological profile of a bioactive compound
Mass Spectrometry [secondary]
- Synthesis of labeling reagents (heavy/ light) for applications in analysis by Mass Spectrometry.
- Solid Phase Synthesis of “chemical probes” for applications in Mass Spectrometry Proteomics.
