Projects

• • Identification of molecules with antioxidant, antinflammatory, antitumor activities and active against multi-drug resistance;

  • Identification and design of leads active against malaria and other parasitic diseases;

  • Identification of molecules active on TRPs channels and on cannabinoids receptors (CBs).

The group is  involved in the following financed research projects:

• PRIN 2015, title “Towards multi-stage drugs to fight poverty related and neglected parasitic diseases: synthetic and natural compounds directed against Leishmania, Plasmodium and Schistosoma life stages and assessment of their mechanisms of action” (20154JRJPP_003) - PI Prof. Giuseppe Campiani

• PRIN 2017, title “Bioactivity-directed exploration of the phytocannabinoid chemical space” (2017WN73PL_002) ¬ PI Prof Appendino Giovanni Battista.

• PRIN PNRR 2022, title "Molecular Mechanisms and Therapeutic Approaches to the Treatment of Metabolic Associated Fatty Liver Disease (Meta-MAFLD)”( P2022PPH4C) - PI Prof Francesco Oriente.
