The amidation reaction is of a very particular interest, especially in the pharmaceutical industry and always requires the activation of the acid with a large excess of reactants. Therefore, a large amount of waste is generated. In order to reduce the environmental impact of such reaction, we have developed enzymatic amidation conditions which are compatible with a wide range of amines and acids, in

A series of multicoordinating and multifunctional ligands optimized for the surface-functionalization of luminescent quantum dots (QDs) and gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) alike is disclosed. An L-aspartic acid precursor is modified with functionality, through simple peptide coupling chemistry, one or two lipoic acid (LA) groups and poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) moieties in the same ligand. These ligands were combined with a new photoligation strategy to yield hydrophilic and reactive QDs that are colloidally stable over a broad range of conditions, including storage at nanomolar concentration and under ambient conditions.

It has been found that the enantiomers of the invention are able to release (R)-alpha-lipoic acid, ensuring a longer permanence in the body for the pharmacologically active principle than that obtainable by its direct administration, or to simulate the pharmacological action of alpha-lipoic acid itself, while exhibiting a much more intense and lasting activity.
