Abstract: The two-faced reactivity of N-allenamides allows regio-and stereo-controlled functionalization on the a-, b- and γ-positions of the nitrogen atom. The contingency to obtain either proximal or distal adducts, makes those substrates essential for the construction of complex heterocyclic scaffolds. This review covers recent advances made in the development of new methods involving...[more]
Abstract: The progressive, neurodegenerative Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is the most widespread dementia. Due to the ageing of the population and the current lack of molecules able to prevent or stop the disease, AD will be even more impactful for society in the future. AD is a multifactorial disease, and, among other factors, metal ions have been regarded as potential therapeutic targets. This is...[more]
Abstract: Copper (Cu) in its ionic forms is an essential element for mammals and its homeostasis is tightly controlled. Accordingly, Cu-dyshomeostasis can be lethal as is the case in the well-established genetic Wilson's and Menkes diseases. In Alzheimer's disease (AD), Cu-accumulation occurs in amyloid plaques, where it is bound to the amyloid-beta peptide (Aβ). In vitro, Cu–Aβ is competent to...[more]
Abstract: Glycine receptors (GlyRs) are ligand-gated ion channels that mediate signal transduction at chemical synapses. Since the early patch-clamp electrophysiology studies, the details of the ion permeation mechanism have remained elusive. Here, we combine molecular dynamics simulations of GlyR-α1 with mutagenesis and single-channel electrophysiology and show that lateral fenestrations...[more]
