Methods for the generation of large combinatorial macrocycle libraries

Macrocycles are an attractive class of molecules due to their good binding properties and yet rather small size that allows, in many cases, crossing membranes to reach intracellular targets. In comparison to classical small molecule drugs, macrocycles are ...

A wearable electrochemical sensing system for non-invasive monitoring of lithium drug in bipolar disorder

Giovanni De Micheli, Sandro Carrara, Irene Taurino, Francesca Criscuolo

Lithium represents the main drug for the treatment of Bipolar Disorder (BD) as it acts as a mood stabilizer. However, because of its narrow therapeutic window, psychiatric patients are obliged to frequent tests in hospital to control their lithium blood co ...
