En esta Tesis hemos preparado derivados de beta-ciclodextrina, metil alfa-D-glucopiranosa y alfa,alfa'-trehalosa adaptados para su aplicación al transporte vectorizado de fármacos, la transfección génica y/o en la modulación del sistema inmune innato. Para el transporte vectorizado de fármacos se ha utilizado una estrategia de síntesis...

An original family of multivalent vectors encompassing gemini and facial amphiphilicity, namely cationic Siamese twin surfactants, has been prepared from the disaccharide trehalose; molecular engineering lets us modulate the self-assembling properties and the topology of the nanocomplexes with plasmid DNA for efficient gene delivery in vitro...

An increasing number of pathologies have been linked to Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) activation and signaling, therefore new hit and lead compounds targeting this receptor activation process are urgently needed. We report on the synthesis and biological properties of glycolipids based on glucose and trehalose scaffolds which potently inhibit...
