Proiect: Mimicking living matter mechanisms by five-dimensional chemistry

Project: PN-III-P4-ID-PCCF-2016-0050
Acronym: 5D-nanoP
Project coordinator: Prof. Aatto LAAKSONEN
Duration: 2018 – 2022

 Mimicking of the living matter mechanism of cooperation by complementarity represents one of the most challenging tasks of supramolecular chemistry. The momentary solution consists in using particularly designed molecular unimers, endowed with the necessary amount of chemical information.

The 5D-nanoP project is dedicated to interfacing the fundamental research area of constitutional dynamic chemistry with the practical approaches of medicinal chemistry and biomedical applications. In the spirit of a metaphor of Jean-Marie Lehn (Nobel Prize in Chemistry, 1987), the project aims to materialize the concept of 5D chemistry in designing, synthesizing, characterizing, and using molecules with conditional affinity, to build versatile supramolecular nanoplatforms able to vectorize compounds of pharmaceutical or biochemical relevance, all of them involved in physiologic and pathologic processes at cell- and tissue-level.

Proiect: Dynamic Constitutional Platforms for Targeted Drug Delivery

Project: PN-III-P1-1.1-TE-2016-1180
Acronym: DynaCoPlat
Project coordinator: Dr. Lilia CLIMA
Duration: 2018 – 2020

The next level in Drug Discovery is the easy building and self-generation of multifunctional nanostructures from commercially available or “easy to prepare” units, which will further self-assemble in a complex, tunable and multifunctional materials, suitable for very specific targeted drug delivery. In this regard, DynaCoPlat project’s main objective is to create dynamic nanoplatforms for developing dynamic systems for enhanced multivalent biorecognition with applications in targeted drug delivery. Project’s subject “the development of efficient nucleic acid targeted delivery systems” addresses the thematic priorities of the National Development Plan 2014-2020 programs (PN III) and Horizon 2020 strategy. The project will adopt modern synthetic pathways for preparing dynamic nanoplatforms with self-assembly properties based on dynamic chemistry and combinatorial methodology. The simplicity of the synthetic constitutional strategy using accessible and simple building blocks for facile self-generated nanoplatforms, presenting synergistic DNA and cell membrane affinities, can be considered as a valuable path toward the systematic discovery of active delivery systems. An important issue we aim to address is establishing a methodology for labelling of nanoplatforms with targeting molecules and achieve successful targeting property via introduction of selective cellular markers, thus increasing the efficacy and reducing the overall toxicity of therapeutic agents. On the other side, the STRATEGIC OBJECTIVE of DynaCoPlat project is the formation and consolidation of a young multidisciplinary team of researchers with complementary knowledge and experience, able to increase their scientific visibility and integration into scientific environment by publishing the results in high impact journals and application to competitions within the national and European Framework (H2020, Era-Net, Euronanomed, etc.).

Proiect: The Synthesis and Evaluation of some Tribenzotriquinacene-Flavonoids Tripodal Antibacterial Agents

Project: PN-III-P1-1.1-PD-2016-1117
Acronym: SEFTAA
Project coordinator:: Dr. Lucian BAHRIN
Duration: 2018 – 2020

Since their discovery, the overuse of antibiotics in both medicine and agriculture has paved the way to the emergence of drug resistant bacteria, which in turn gave rise to an ever-increasing demand for new, more effective antibiotics. Many of the recently developed drugs, however, were built on the same molecular scaffolds as older antibiotics, that various bacteria have developed resistance to. For instance, the second, third and fourth generation cefalosporins were each developed as microorganisms became resistant to the previous generation. The development of antibiotics based on new molecular scaffolds, that are able to bypass the various resistance mechanisms employed by drug resistant bacteria, is becoming more urgent with each passing day. Flavonoids are a diverse class of plant polyphenols that exhibit a wide range of biological activities. Amongst these, several flavonoids were found to display antibacterial properties. Moreover, flavonoids have also been shown to have a synergistic effect when administered with other antimicrobial agents against drug resistant bacteria. This makes flavonoids promising candidates in the ongoing search for new antibacterial drugs.

Proiect: Biologically Inspired Systems for Engineered Structural and Functional Entities

Project: PN-II-ID-PCCE-2011-2-0028
Project coordinator: Dr. Mariana PINTEALA
Duration: 2012 – 2015

The project aims to study, to develop and to preliminary test biomimetic structural and functional entities, able to act as gene transfection vehicles of non-viral type, and having a DNA packaging capacity of about 2 ÷ 5 kilobases. The main features of these entities are: (i) the general structure of a polyplex, (ii) the functionality of a cargo-complex that chemomimic the histones, morphomimic the nucleosome and biomimic a virus like gene vector, (iii) the ability to include or to reversibly bind and transport (bio)chemical species necessary to assist the DNA vehiculation and trafficking, (iv) are based on fullerene-rich polymers and / or dendrimers, (v) the capacity to associate to artificial extracellular matrices, in order to generate gene delivery systems with transfection ability, for ex vivo applications. The developed entities will represent effective tools in genetic and tissue engineering, useful in health restoration, life quality enhancement, and to cure tissue and human organism deficiencies. The envisioned engineering strategy to build biomimetic entities may sustain a spin-off type transfer of knowledge towards hi-tech application areas, with a clear echo in clinics and, finally, in human health. The project involves seven complementary teams hosted by four research and academic institutions. In equilibrated ratios, senior, young and junior researchers will collaborate inside the project frame.

Proiect: Bionanoconjugates Formation by Laser Ablation in Liquid

Project: PN-II-RU-TE-2011-3-0174
Acronym: BioNP
Project coordinator: Dr. Claudia MIHESAN
Duration: 2011 – 2014

The main objective of this project is to elaborate and characterize a new method of producing bionanoconjugates, based on laser ablation of a metal or metal oxide immersed in solution of biomolecules. The ablation occurs as a result of the interaction between a laser beam and a solid target and represents the passing of a portion of the irradiated volume in the gas phase (ablation plume) in the form of atoms, ions, molecules, fragments, molecular aggregates, micro droplets, etc., depending on target and laser parameters (wavelength, energy, etc.). The material ablated in liquid will agglomerate and form nanoparticles. The surface of the nanoparticles is activated, allowing the interaction with the capping species present in the solution, which will prevent further aggregation, possible for uncoated nanoparticles.
