1,3,3a,7a-Tetrahydro-2-benzofuran was used as key compound for the synthesis of various bishomoinositol derivatives. The diene was subjected to an epoxidation reaction for further functionalization of the diene unit. The bisepoxide obtained was submitted to a ring-opening reaction with acid in
New azabicyclo[2.2.1]heptane and -[3.3.1]nonane derivatives containing a pyridinyl substituent at the bridgehead position have been synthesized via an efficient ten chemical steps pathway. Both chemical series were then evaluated in vitro for their affinity at α7 nicotinic receptors revealing nanomolar
The molecular dynamics simulation technique was used to study the folding and complexation process of a short amylose fragment in the presence of lipids. In aqueous solution, the amylose chain remains as an extended left-handed helix. After the addition of

N-Alkyl and N-(2-dialkylaminoethyl) derivatives of 5-amino-2-azabicyclo-nonanes were prepared and tested in vitro for their activities against the multidrug-resistant K1 strain of Plasmodium falciparum and Trypanosoma brucei rhodesiense (STIB 900). Most of the new compounds showed lower antitrypanosomal activity than their
