Short personal activity proposal for the COST Action CA15135 (max 1000 characters)
|
Our Romanian research team, working in disciplines around the medicinal chemistry and health care, express a large interest for this topic and based on the experience accumulated in previous collaborations and even COST Actions, we propose to contribute in the scientific progress of the Action’s aim devoted to the multi-target issue in drug discovery through two main directions: § Analysis of the inflammatory and osteolytic mediators (cytokines, prostaglandins) that cause periodontal breakdown with alterations of marginal periodontium and even tooth loss in the context of systemic diseases. § Characterization of the antioxidant properties of newly synthesized compounds with improved physicochemical and pharmacokinetic properties, especially agonists that would target metabolic disorders (such as diabetes) and periodontal area injuries.
