Short personal activity proposal for the COST Action CA15135 (max 1000 characters)

 

Synthesis, purification and physicochemical characterization of bioactive compounds (new small molecules). Studies on their interaction properties with target molecules. The complexation of the aforementioned complexes with metal ions that play an important role in biological aspects. Biological tests determining the activity of these compounds in multitarget aspects at the same time (e.g anticancer activity, anti-inflammatory and antiocoagular effects etc). These we also be examined under illumination.
