Cyclic Peptides for Drug Development

Christian Heinis, Xinjian Ji, Alexander Lund Nielsen

Cyclic peptides combine a number of favorable properties that make them attractive for drug development. Today, more than 40 therapeutics based on cyclic peptides are in use, and new, powerful technologies for their development suggest that this number cou ...

Mechano-responsive microcapsules with uniform thin shells

Esther Amstad, Antoine Claude Jean Vian

Capsules often prolong the shelf-life of active ingredients, such as many types of drugs, food additives, or cosmetic substances, because they delay oxidation of these substances or prevent their reactions with molecules contained in the surrounding. If ca ...

Polyphenols as Morphogenetic Agents for the Controlled Synthesis of Mesoporous Silica Nanoparticles

Fabien Sorin, Jialuo Luo, René M. Rossi, Alina Osypova

Non-surfactant-induced synthesis of mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNPs) is gaining increasing interest because of their low toxicity and simple purification compared to conventional surfactant-based methods. Tannic acid (TA), considered as a glucose-de ...

Capsules are often employed to prolong the shelf-life of active ingredients such as many drugs, food additives, or cosmetic substances because they delay their oxidation or prevent interactions with molecules contained in the surrounding. If designed prope ...

EPFL2018

The negative consequences of the global warming require an important reduction of CO2 emission; and the valorization of the carbon dioxide, its transformation into useful chemicals is essential. We present here our studies on the direct CO2 hydrogenation r ...

Interface tuning and stabilization of monoglyceride mesophase dispersions: Food emulsifiers and mixtures efficiency

Several food surfactants were examined as possible efficient emulsifiers for liquid crystalline monolinolein-based particles and as alternative choices to the non-food-grade emulsifier conventionally used Pluronic (R) F127. We described a food emulsifiers' ...

A Viable Hydrogen Storage and Release System Based on Cesium Formate and Bicarbonate Salts: Mechanistic Insights into the Hydrogen Release Step

Gabor Laurenczy, Katerina Stefania Sordakis, Andrew Francis Dalebrook

Aqueous solutions of cesium formate and bicarbonate repre- sent an effective hydrogen storage–delivery couple that under- goes either release or take up of hydrogen in the presence of {RuCl2(mTPPTS)2}2 (TPPTS = triphenylphosphine trisulfonate) and excess m ...
