    Structure-antitumor activity relationships of Aza- and Diaza-Anthracene-2,9,10-Triones and their partially saturated derivativer
    (Molecules, 2024) Avendaño López, María Carmen; López-Alvarado Gutiérrez, María Pilar; Pérez, José María; Alonso, Miguel Ángel; Pascual Alfonso, Eva; Ruiz Serrano, Miriam; Menéndez Ramos, José Carlos
    The 1,8-Diazaanthracene-2,9,10-triones, their 5,8-dihydro derivatives, and 1,8-diazaanthracene-2,7,9,10-tetraones, structurally related to the diazaquinomycin family of natural products, were synthesized in a regioselective fashion employing Diels-Alder strategies. These libraries were studied for their cytotoxicity in a variety of human cancer cell lines in order to establish structure-activity relationships. From the results obtained, we conclude that some representatives of the 1,8-diazaanthracene-2,9,10-trione framework show potent and selective cytotoxicity against solid tumors. Similar findings were made for the related 1-azaanthracene-2,9,10-trione derivatives, structurally similar to the marcanine natural products, which showed improved activity over their natural counterparts. An enantioselective protocol based on the use of a SAMP-related chiral auxiliary derived was developed for the case of chiral 5-substituted 1,8-diazaanthracene-2,9,10-triones, and showed that their cytotoxicity was not enantiospecific.

    Multitarget Hybrid Fasudil Derivatives as a New Approach to the Potential Treatment of Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis
    (Journal of Medicinal Chemistry, 2022) Martín Cámara, Olmo; Arribas Blázquez, Marina; Wells, Geoffrey; Morales-Tenorio, Marcos; Martin Requero, Ángeles; Porras, Gracia; Martínez, Ana; Giorgi, Giorgo; López-Alvarado Gutiérrez, María Pilar; Lastres Becker, Isabel; Menéndez Ramos, José Carlos
    Hybrid compounds containing structural fragments of the Rho kinase inhibitor fasudil and the NRF2 inducers caffeic and ferulic acids were designed with the aid of docking and molecular mechanics studies. Following the synthesis of the compounds using a peptide-coupling methodology, they were characterized for their ROCK2 inhibition, radical scavenging, effects on cell viability (MTT assay), and NRF2 induction (luciferase assay). One of the compounds (1d) was selected in view of its good multitarget profile and good tolerability. It was able to induce the NRF2 signature, promoting the expression of the antioxidant response enzymes HO-1 and NQO1, via a KEAP1-dependent mechanism. Analysis of mRNA and protein levels of the NRF2 pathway showed that 1d induced the NRF2 signature in control and SOD1-ALS lymphoblasts but not in sALS, where it was already increased in the basal state. These results show the therapeutic potential of this compound, especially for ALS patients with a SOD1 mutation.

    El podcast como recurso didáctico en las asignaturas de Química Orgánica y Farmacéutica en el Grado de Farmacia y doble Grado de Farmacia y Nutrición Humana y dietética
    (2023) Ruiz Serrano, Miriam; Sánchez Cebrián, Juan Domingo; López-Alvarado Gutiérrez, María Pilar; Ramos García, María Teresa; Villacampa Sanz, Mercedes; Menéndez Ramos, José Carlos; Giorgi Poletti, Giorgio; Sarabia Vallejo, Álvaro; Cores Esperón, Ángel; Clerigué Louzado, José; León Martínez, Rafael; Herrero Gómez, Natalia; Rodríguez Cordero, María Luisa; Solera Viana, María; Cledera Crespo, María Pilar; Polo Parra, Sonia; Rico Arjona, Rocío
    Este proyecto tiene como objetivo la creación, divulgación y uso didáctico de los podcasts como herramienta de difusión de contenidos científicos para el estudio y la profundización de las asignaturas de Química Orgánica y Química Farmacéutica. En este sentido, se pretende que el alumnado, habituado al uso de medios tecnológicos y redes sociales, aprenda a utilizar este recurso no sólo como un instrumento de entretenimiento, sino como un potente medio para el aprendizaje.
