Bioactive molecules and biotransformation
Research on bioactive molecules and their biotransformation emphasizing on nitrogen heterocycles, indoles and alkaloids (carbolines). In addition to investigating their presence in foods and medicinal plants, we study their activity as substrates and inhibitors of oxidoreductases, and their involvement in the generation and/or scavenging of free radicals and new toxic and bioactive agents.
