The discovery of antibiotics for the treatment of bacterial infections brought the idea that bacteria would no longer endanger human health. However, bacterial diseases still represent a worldwide treat. The ability of microorganisms to develop resistance, together with the indiscriminate use of antibiotics, is mainly responsible for this situation; thus, resistance has compelled the scientific community to search for novel therapeutics. In this scenario, antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) provide a promising strategy against a wide array of pathogenic microorganisms, being able to act directly as antimicrobial agents but also being important regulators of the innate immune system. This review is an attempt to explore marine AMPs as a rich source of molecules with antimicrobial activity. In fact, the sea is poorly explored in terms of AMPs, but it represents a resource with plentiful antibacterial agents performing their role in a harsh environment. For the application of AMPs in the medical field limitations correlated to their peptide nature, their inactivation by environmental pH, presence of salts, proteases, or other components have to be solved. Thus, these peptides may act as templates for the design of more potent and less toxic compounds. 相似文献

Grape is a rich source of bioactive compounds; among them anthocyanins are associated to many healthy properties, possessing a good antioxidant activity. In this work, we developed a fast and simple screening of antioxidant anthocyanins in six Sicilian Nero d’Avola autochthonous grape clones. The method was based on the pre-column reaction with 2,2′-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl radical followed by the rapid separation by ultra high-pressure liquid chromatography coupled with ultraviolet and tandem mass spectrometry detection. Peak areas of antioxidant anthocyanins significantly reduced or even disappeared. The entire method took only 45 min per sample, showing good retention time and peak area repeatability with maximum CV% values ≤0.86 and 6.84, respectively. Samples rich in delphinidin derivatives showed lowest IC50 values, since those compounds possess the highest scavenging ability. The developed setup was less complex than online approaches and faster with respect to conventional high-performance liquid chromatography methods, taking advantage of ultra high-performance conditions, coupled for the first time with pre-column 2,2′-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl assay. The proposed strategy is a valid tool for a rapid screening of antioxidant anthocyanins in grape samples, useful to correlate the genetic diversity with the production of secondary metabolites as well to assess their activity in nutraceutical products rich in anthocyanins. 相似文献

The application of hydrophobic polymers to stone materials is an important treatment to preserve stone artefacts and protect cultural heritage from decay. To improve the characteristics and performance of water-repellent treatments, new solutions have been explored. In this research context, great attention has been paid to multi-component formulations that contain various monomers and copolymerise directly on stone. When they are obtained on inert rather than real substrates, such as stone, polymeric materials are often quite different in terms of their chemical and physical characteristics, polymerisation rate, and rheological properties. The stone's characteristics strongly influence its response to the application of conservation products; so different issues may be seen when applying the same treatment, depending on the interaction between the applied product and the stone support. Because of this, it is crucial to have the right tools to investigate how the substrate affects the monomers’ distribution of the applied mixtures and the resulting performance of the treatments. In this study, we followed an integrated approach based on the data collected by different analytical techniques (contact angle and colorimetric measurements, FT-IR analyses and ESEM-EDS analyses) to acquire a deeper knowledge of the behaviour of potential innovative water-repellents and their interaction with a stone support. This combined approach was used to evaluate the behaviour of methacrylate/vinyl-polysiloxane multi-component water-repellents applied on two calcareous stones displaying different microstructure and porosity: a compact limestone and a porous calcarenite. 相似文献

ABSTRACTA great challenge for cognitive neuroscience is studying human behavior in its complexity as it manifests in the real world. The field of aviation provides a unique opportunity to investigate how perception, action and cognition interact in complex yet controlled ecologically valid environments. We suggest a novel cross-domain approach that combines insights from ecological psychology and embodied cognition with a neurophysiological framework to explain patterns of human performance across a variety of aviation contexts. Specifically, we argue that studying the interaction between an agent and the environment, as manifest in the Mirror Neuron system as a neural correlate, is key to understanding complex behavior. We can describe the experience and skills involved with task-relevant actions – like flying an airplane – using brain mechanisms of motor simulation of the observed action. With this direct coupling between perception and action, the automatic implicit nature of the Mirror Neuron system can be harnessed to improve human factor and ergonomics. This analysis offers three areas for future study and application: (1) enhancing flight training by isolating specific agent-environment relations; (2) tracking training progression based on brain signatures of flight expertise; and (3) neuroscientific-inspired ecological design of next-generation human–machine interfaces in flight decks. 相似文献

In the general framework of linear structural dynamics, modal corrections methods allow improving the accuracy of the response evaluated with a reduced number of modes. Although very often neglected by researchers and practitioners, this correction is particularly important when strains and stresses are computed. Aimed at overcoming the main limitations of existing techniques, a novel dynamic modal acceleration method (DyMAM) is presented and numerically validated. The proposed correction involves a set of additional dummy oscillators, one for each dynamic loading, and can be applied, with a modest computational effort, to discrete and continuous systems under deterministic and random inputs. 相似文献

Smart Lipid–Polysaccharide Nanoparticles for Targeted Delivery of Doxorubicin to Breast Cancer Cells

In this study, actively-targeted (CD44-receptors) and dual stimuli (pH/redox)-responsive lipid–polymer nanoparticles were proposed as a delivery vehicle of doxorubicin hydrochloride in triple negative breast cancer cell lines. A phosphatidylcholine lipid film was hydrated with a solution of oxidized hyaluronic acid and doxorubicin, chosen as model drug, followed by a crosslinking reaction with cystamine hydrochloride. The obtained spherical nanoparticles (mean diameter of 30 nm) were found to be efficiently internalized in cancer cells by a receptor-mediated endocytosis process, and to modulate the drug release depending on the pH and redox potential of the surrounding medium. In vitro cytotoxicity assays demonstrated the safety and efficacy of the nanoparticles in enhancing the cytotoxic effect of the free anticancer drug, with the IC50 values being reduced by two and three times in MDA-MB-468 and MDA-MB-231, respectively. The combination of self-assembled phospholipid molecules with a polysaccharide counterpart acting as receptor ligand, and stimuli-responsive chemical moieties, was carried out on smart multifunctional nanoparticles able to actively target breast cancer cells and improve the in vitro anticancer activity of doxorubicin. 相似文献

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic, immune-mediated disease of the central nervous system. At present, there is no definitive cure, and the few available disease-modifying options display either poor efficacy or life-threatening side effects. There is clear evidence that relapsing-remitting clinical attacks in MS are driven by inflammatory demyelination and that the subsequent disease steps, being irresponsive to immunotherapy, result from neurodegeneration. The endocannabinoid system (ECS) stands halfway between three key pathomechanisms underlying MS, namely inflammation, neurodegeneration and oxidative stress, thus representing a kingpin for the identification of novel therapeutic targets in MS. This review summarizes the current state of the art in the field of endocannabinoid metabolism modulators and their in vivo effects on relevant animal models. We also highlight key molecular underpinnings of their therapeutic efficacy as well as the potential to turn them into promising clinical candidates. 相似文献
