1 Corsi di Laurea della Classe LM13 Curriculum vitae Angelo Carotti Laureato in Chimica all Università di Camerino nel 1971, ha svolto tutta la sua carriera scientifica e didattica presso la Facoltà di Farmacia dell Università di Bari, divenendo ricercatore nel 1974, professore associato nel 1982 e professore ordinario di Chimica Farmaceutica nel Ha insegnato diversi corsi, dall Analisi dei Farmaci, alle Metodologia Avanzate nella Ricerca Farmaceutica e alla Chimica Farmaceutica. Attualmente è docente di Chimica Farmaceutica e di Metodologie Avanzate nella Progettazione e Sintesi di Farmaci nel corso di laurea in Chimica e Tecnologia Farmaceutiche. La sua produzione scientifica è documentata da 4 brevetti ed oltre 200 pubblicazioni (articoli originali, review e capitoli di libri), apparse su riviste internazionali peer-reviewed. I suoi studi hanno riguardato il disegno razionale e la sintesi di nuovi composti eterociclici con promettenti attività farmacologiche (ad es., eterosteroidi, derivati diazinici, cumarinici e chinolonici), ad attività inibente sulle monoammino ossidasi (MAO), colinesterasi (AChE e BChE), tirosin chinasi (TK), metalloproteinasi di matrice (MMP) e aromatasi (AR). Pirazolo-chinoline sono state studiate come ligandi ad alta affinità del recettore benzodiazepinico (BZR), e derivati deazaxantinici come antagonisti selettivi del recettore A2B adenosinico. Più di recente, la sua attività di ricerca ha riguardato lo sviluppo di metodologie computazionali innovative per la scoperta di nuovi agenti biologicamente attivi, e la chimica combinatoriale (disegno e sintesi multipla parallela su fase solida di librerie molecolari) applicata all individuazione ed ottimizzazione di molecole ad attività neurologica (inibitori AChE e MAO; antiamiloidi) e antitumorale (inibitori TK, AR e MMP). Sono stati usati approcci ligand- e target-based e tecniche di pattern recognition, virtual screening e homology modelling per lo studio di enzimi e recettori sia nella fase di disegno di ligandi che nella valutazione delle relazioni struttura-attività e struttura-selettività. Relatore su invito a diversi meeting nazionali e internazionali, il prof. Carotti ha tenuto relazioni ed è stato visiting professor in molte università italiane e straniere (USA, Germania, Spagna, Israele, Grecia e Svizzera. Il prof. Carotti è stato direttore della "European Advanced School of Medicinal Chemistry" dal 1999 al Dal 2007 al 2013 il prof. Carotti è stato direttore della Scuola di Dottorato in Scienze Farmaceutiche e coordinatore dell omonimo corso di dottorato. Dall' ottobre 2013 è coordinatore del corso di dottorato " Scienze Biomolecolari Farmaceutiche e Mediche Nel 2008 ha ricevuto il Premio Vigevani dall Università di Gerusalemme enel 2013 gli è stata conferita la medaglia "Luigi Musajo" dalla Divisione ci chimica farmaceutica della Società Chimica Italiana. Ha coordinato numerosi progetti di ricerca bilaterali (Italia-USA, Italia-Svizzera) promossi dal CNR e un progetto FIRB, ed ha partecipato con la sua unità di ricerca a progetti finanziati dalla UE (FP V e FP VI).
