Scientific activity
The main focus of my research on marine natural products is the chemistry of marine macroorganisms (with emphasis on Porifera) and microorganisms, including isolation, structure elucidation, and bioactivity. Starting from this topic, my research developed in several directions: development and use of new methods for dereplication of natural extracts; development and use of new methods for structural elucidation of organic compounds; biosynthetic studies on
natural products from microbial symbionts of marine organisms; and total synthesis of analogues of marine natural products. This research has led to the publication of 143 papers in peer-reviewed international journals.

Development and use of spectroscopic and computational methods for structural elucidation. The complex structures of many natural products required the use of the most advanced spectroscopic techniques currently available, as well as improvements to existing methods. Computational prediction of NMR parameters and chiroptical properties through DFT calculations has recently become an important approach for structure elucidation and validation. These
computational methods are being used increasingly in my research, with state-of-the-art protocols applied and new ones developed.

Dereplication of natural extracts and molecular networking. In modern natural product discovery pipelines, great attention is paid to dereplication—the early identification of known compounds. An innovative dereplication scheme based on molecular networking of liquid chromatography/tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS²) data is gaining increasing importance, as molecular networking can assess structural similarities between analyzed compounds in an
automated and untargeted manner. My recent research makes extensive use of these techniques.

Studies on the biosynthesis of natural products from microorganisms, including sponge symbionts. I became interested in the biosynthesis of metabolites found in marine sponges, particularly in the role played by bacterial symbionts. This led to the study of biosynthetic pathways of bacterial metabolites. Two grants obtained from the EC allowed the setup of a microbiology and molecular biology laboratory equipped with state-of-the-art instrumentation. For example, a
novel type I polyketide synthase (PKS) of sponges was first found in the metagenome of Plakortis simplex, and later found to be widespread in sponge metagenomes. Very recently, the biosynthetic gene cluster of the cyclic peptides thermoactinoamides was identified.

Bioactive Secondary Metabolites from Marine Organisms. Isolation and identification of natural products of marine origin has been the core activity of my research throughout my career, with growing interest over the years in the biological and pharmacological activity of the isolated compounds. Many bioactive compounds were discovered by my research group, showing anti-inflammatory, cytotoxic, neurotoxic, and kinase-inhibitory activities. Very recently, we
discovered a series of highly cytotoxic chlorinated peptide/polyketide hybrids from sponges of the genus Smenospongia. The remarkable biological activity of these compounds prompted us to undertake their total synthesis.

Glycolipids from marine sponges: isolation, evaluation of biological activity, and total synthesis. An important part of my research has focused on the isolation, structural elucidation, and biological evaluation of glycolipids from marine sponges. Marine sponges were shown to be an incredibly rich source of new glycolipid structures. We identified many glycosphingolipids, including a whole new class (the α-galactoglycosphingolipids), some interesting glycoglycerolipids, and entirely novel glycolipids such as simplexide. Many of these glycolipids exhibit activity on the immune system.
These studies also led to the development of new, specific procedures for the isolation and purification of glycolipids, as well as new NMR-based methods for elucidating the structure of oligosaccharide chains. In parallel, we performed the total synthesis of analogues of natural α-galactoglycosphingolipids to investigate their structure–activity relationships, contributing to the development of new synthetic methodologies in carbohydrate chemistry.

Cristina Airoldi heads the NMR spectroscopy laboratory at BTBS (BioOrgNMR Lab). Her current scientific interests focus on: I) NMR study of biologically relevant molecular recognition processes, with the support of other techniques, such as IR, EM, AFM, circular dichroism, SPR, MS; II) Design and synthesis of bioorganic molecular tools for therapeutic and diagnostic applications; III) NMR-based structural and conformational analysis of bioactive molecules; identification and characterization of natural bioactive compounds; IV) NMR & MS-based metabolomic studies of biofluids, cells, tissues, and natural extracts.

Her first most significant scientific result was the development of a new patented NMR methodology for the characterization of molecular recognition processes by an on-cell approach. The methodology, combining genetic engineering of mammalian cells and STD NMR experiment under HR-MAS conditions, improves the versatility of the STD NMR experiment and expands its use to samples containing living cells deriving from solid tissues. On-cell STD NMR has been applied to different cell lines, both prokaryotic and eukaryotic, and to the study of diverse ligand-receptor systems.
The second most relevant scientific contribution concerns the setup of advanced NMR protocols to study molecular interaction between amyloid peptide oligomers and their inhibitors.

A more recent development of this research field concerns the combination of NMR ligand-receptor interaction studies, and NMR and MS-based metabolomics, for the rapid screening of natural extracts for the presence of amyloid ligands.
Moreover, she manages various industrial collaborations, with pharmaceutical and/or biotech industries, in which she develops methods based on NMR spectroscopy for the study of the mechanisms of action of drugs and bioactive compounds at the molecular level.

Dr. Angelo Gallo is a chemistry researcher at the University of Torino, where his work focuses on developing new methodologies in magnetic resonance for structural biology and drug discovery applications.

His main focus as academic is the atomic level structure determination and dynamic characterization of proteins of various molecular weight that are involved in several relevant biological pathways, employing solution state and solid-state NMR techniques and computational methods. Angelo’s research seeks to determine the structure to elucidate the proteins’ network of interaction in order to define the function. He is also interested in downregulation or upregulation of these proteins as drug discovery targets. Key challenges in drug discovery are also focus of his research curiosity.

After completing his PhD in Structural Biology and a postdoctoral fellowship at the CERM, University of Firenze, he moved to the University of Warwick UK where his research focus on antimicrobial resistance and synthetic biology approaches was published in Nature Chemistry. He is a recipient of two PRIN research grants and is deeply committed to bridging the gap between fundamental research and industrial application exploiting biologically available processes.

He is currently leading a project to develop biosynthetic materials and welcomes inquiries from potential collaborators and students passionate about solving biological relevant problems using the NMR spectroscopy.

Dr. Gianluca D’Abrosca earned the PhD in Molecular and Cellular Biotechnologies at the University of Campania, where had also his Post Doc in the NMR group of Prof. Roberto Fattorusso. After being Assistant Professor (RTD-A) in General and Inorganic Chemistry at the Department of Clinical and Experimental Medicine of the University of Foggia, at the present he is Assistant Professor (Tenure Track) in the same scientific area at the Department of Human Sciences of the Link Campus University of Rome.

The scientific activity of Dr. Gianluca D’Abrosca is part of the vast research topic of “Molecular Recognition” of molecules of biological interest, carried out mainly using conformational analysis techniques in solution by means of Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR). In particular, the use of NMR data, integrated with spectroscopic data (I.R., UV-VIS spectroscopy, CD) and computational data (Molecular Dynamics and Molecular Docking techniques), has made it possible to obtain information
on the modes of recognition of metal ions by molecules and macromolecules, on the conformational preferences induced by the metal cofactor and, more generally, on the behavior of biomolecules in solution.
