    The reactive oxygen species (ROS) scavenging capacities of ginkgolides and bilobalide, which are the peculiar constituents of the extract of Ginkgo biloba, are investigated in silico (level of theory: (SMD)-M06-2X/6-311+ ...
  • Synthesis of Selenium-Based Small Molecules Inspired by CNS-Targeting Psychotropic Drugs and Mediators 
    Ribaudo, Giovanni; Zeppilli, Davide; Ongaro, Alberto; Bortoli, Marco; Zagotto, Giuseppe; Orian, Laura (Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2023)
    Due to its endogenously high oxygen consumption, the central nervous system (CNS) is vulnerable to oxidative stress conditions. Notably, the activity of several CNS-targeting compounds, such as antidepressant and hypnotic ...
  • Thiol modifier effects of diphenyl diselenides: insight from experiment and DFT calculations 
    Nogara, Pablo A.; Oliveira, Cláudia S.; Madabeni, Andrea; Bortoli, Marco; Rocha, João Batista T.; Orian, Laura (Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2023)
    A combination of spectroscopic, chromatographic and computational approaches was employed to investigate the reaction of several diselenides with a thiolate nucleophile, leading to the breaking of the selenium–selenium ...
