Synthesis and development of bioactive compounds: soluble epoxide hydrolase inhibitors and antiviral molecules
The present Thesis is divided in three chapters: 1. Design and synthesis of new soluble epoxide hydrolase inhibitors (sEHI) The synthesis of new soluble epoxide hydrolase inhibitors based on ureas as the main ...
The Tousled-like kinases and their implications in cancer and neurodevelopmental disorders
The Tousled like kinases 1 and 2 (TLK1 and TLK2) are evolutionarily conserved Ser/Thr kinases that are required for genome stability and normal development in numerous organisms. Both kinases contribute to histone deposition ...
Identificación y caracterización de nuevos defectos del metabolismo energético mitocondrial asociados a aciduria 3-metilglutacónica y a deficiencia del complejo I
Las enfermedades del metabolismo energético mitocondrial son un grupo de patologías con una gran heterogeneidad clínica, bioquímica y genética. Aunque en la última década la implementación de las técnicas de “Next generation ...
Colloidal lipid gels: A novel approach to structure dispersions of lipids
Lipids are essential components in most living organisms whose functionality varies with their chemical structure. In an aqueous environment, diluted dispersions of phospholipids tend to form vesicles and other bilayered ...
Tris(triphenylphosphine)Ruthenium(II) dichloride: a versatile catalystin the synthesis of β-, γ- and δ-lactams from trichloroacetamides and in the isomerization of protected allylamines to Z-enamines under microwave activation
In this PhD thesis we have demonstrated that tris(triphenylphosphine)ruthenium(II) dichloride (RuCl2(PPh3)3) is a potent and versatile catalyst capable of achieving efficient different chemical transformations under microwave ...
Utilización de aceites ácidos y ácidos grasos destilados en alimentación animal: caracterización de estos subproductos y repercusiones de su uso en la estabilidad oxidativa de piensos y carne de pollo
La correcta formulación de piensos es esencial para conseguir dietas que aporten al animal niveles equilibrados de nutrientes, a la vez que se consiga una eficiencia en la producción animal mediante piensos con palatabilidad ...
Functional analysis of a phloem cysteine protease in Arabidopsis thaliana
Metacaspases are a family of cysteine proteases found in lower eukaryotes and plants. They are considered to be distant relatives of caspases, present only in animals. The role of metacaspases is quite diverse, from ...
Population pharmacokinetic-pharmacodynamic modeling in solid organ transplantation: Basis of personalized immunosuppression
Despite advances in immunosuppression, allograft rejection and clinical outcomes remain a challenge in solid organ transplantation. Currently, the immunosuppressive treatment’s individual adjustment is guided by the ...
Nanotechnology-mediated strategies targeting cancer stem cells for advanced cancer treatment
Despite the latest advances in early diagnosis and increased resources employed to develop new therapeutic options, effective control of cancer disease remains a challenge. In fact, cancer is the second leading cause of ...
