From Biomass to Efficient Lipid Recovery
Agostinho, Daniela A. S.; Santos, Andreia F. M.; Esperança, José M. S. S.; Reis, Patrícia M.; Duarte, Ana Rita C.; Ventura, Márcia G.The sustainable extraction of microalgal lipids represents a critical step toward the valorization of biomass for nutraceutical, pharmaceutical, and biofuel applications. In this study, a microwave-assisted extraction approach using a biocompatible ionic liquid (IL), [N1 1 2OH 2OH][C6H11O2], was investigated for lipid recovery from Chlorella vulgaris. Conventional methods (Soxhlet, Folch, and Bligh & Dyer) were...
Bioactivity of ionic liquids based on valproate in SH-SY5Y human neuroblastoma ...
Dias, Ana Rita; Ferraz, Ricardo; Costa-Rodrigues, João; Santos, Andreia F. M.; Jacinto, Manuel L.; Prudêncio, Cristina; Noronha, João PauloThe search for alternative and effective therapies to fight cancer is one of the main goals of the pharmaceutical industry. Recently, ionic liquids (ILs) have emerged as potential therapeutic agents with antitumor properties. The goal of this study was to synthesize and evaluate the bioactivity of different ILs coupled with the active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) valproate (VPA) as an antitumor agent. The to...
Synthesis and biological evaluation of Amphotericin B formulations based on org...
Ferraz, Ricardo; Santarém, Nuno; Santos, Andreia F. M.; Jacinto, Manuel L.; Cordeiro-da-Silva, Anabela; Prudêncio, Cristina; Noronha, João PauloNowadays, organic salts and ionic liquids (OSILs) containing active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) are being explored as drug delivery systems in modern therapies (OSILs-API). In that sense, this work is focused on the development of novel OSILs-API based on amphotericin B through an innovative procedure and the evaluation of the respective biological activity against Leishmania infantum. Several ammonium, m...
