    SUMMARY OF RESEARCH


     

    CHEMISTRY ON NATURAL PHENOLICS
    Drugs based on natural phenolics: potential applications on inflammation-related diseases

     

    Natural phenolics have been shown to display relevant biological activities such as antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, anticancer, neuroprotective or cardioprotective properties. Nevertheless, their possible use as drugs is very limited since they get rapidly metabolized in the organism.
    We synthesize chemically modified natural phenolics to enhance their bioavailability and biological activity. At the same, we prepare phenolic metabolites to facilitate ADME studies and to study their intrinsic biological activity in comparison with the parent natural phenols.

    CHEMISTRY ON NATURAL PHENOLICS
    Chemically modified natural phenolics: antioxidant surfactants

     

    Plants contain a large number of phenolic-based natural products that are potent antioxidants. We modify natural phenolics chemically and enzymatically to prepare compounds with dual-functionality: "antioxidant surfactants". They display relevant properties:

    1.- relevant surface-active activity (in the range of other non-ionic commercial compounds such as tween 20, dodecyl maltoside or triton X-100).
    2.- high antioxidant activity (these phenolic compounds are among the most active antioxidants).
    3.- environmentally friendly (all components are natural and biodegradable).
    4.- biocide activity (reported in the literature for these type of phenolics).

    CARBOHYDRATE DNA CONJUGATES
    Carbohydrate-oligonucleotide conjugates: tools to study molecular interactions

     

    Molecular interactions between biomolecules are crucial for a huge number of biological processes and different aspects are not well understood. We prepare carbohydrate-oligonucleotide conjugates (COCs) to investigate molecular interactions (carbohydrate-aromatic and carbohydrate-DNA contacts) and to explore new structures of DNA or RNA that incorporate carbohydrates.

    CARBOHYDRATE DNA CONJUGATES
    Carbohydrate-oligonucleotide conjugates: potential applications in gene inhibition

     

    Small synthetic nucleic acids have shown promising results as potential drugs in the last decades. Oligonucleotides have been used for the inhibition of a specific gene by blocking gene translation or gene transcription or by stimulating the degradation of a particular messenger RNA. Nevertheless, cellular uptake of these oligonucleotides stands as the problem to be solved. We explore carbohydrate-oligonucleotide conjugates (COCs) as a potential vector to internalize DNA or RNA into the cellso theycould act as gene inhibitors.

    G-QUADRUPLEX: NEW LIGANDS AS POTENTIAL DRUGS
    G-quadruplex ligands based on carbohydrates: potential anti-proliferative agents

     

    G-quadruplexes (G4) are four-stranded DNA structures that are over-represented in gene promoter regions and are viewed as emerging therapeutic targets in different pathologies. Transcriptional repression of G4 in oncogenes or in HIV key genes through stabilization of these structures are being proposed as novel anticancer and antiviral strategies.
    Unfortunately, most of G4 ligands prepared so far are not ideal drug-like compounds since they are too large and lipophilic derivatives. At the same time, they tend to have polycyclic aromatic scaffolds that show bind through pi-pi aromatic stacking but showing quite low selectivity among different G4 sequences or topologies.
    We are designing and preparing G4 ligands based on carbohydrates trying to obtain similar efficient binding with more drug-like molecules that, at the same time, display higher selectivity for a specific G4 target.
