Discovery and Development of Anxiolytic Agents from Tropical Marine Macroalge

Ciencias Naturales, Proyectos

  Investigador: Ricardo Chiesa Departamento: Biología Descripción: Epidemiological surveys have revealed that one third of the population is affected by an anxiety disorder during their lifetime. These disorders are mostly treated with benzodiazepines (BZD’s) which act as positive allosteric modulators of GABA(A) receptors to achieve their anxiolytic effect, yet their constant and consistent use can…

Función de H2S en superoxido de dismutasa y su implicación en la formación de fibrillas

Ciencias Naturales, Proyectos

  Investigadora: Ruth Pietri Departamento: Química Descripción: Protein fibrils are large aggregates of misfolded proteins that are associated with several neurodegenerative diseases such as familial amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). Superoxide dismutase (SOD) is a protein that forms fibrils, which has been implicated with ALS. Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) can inhibit protein fibrils by reacting with disulfide…
