The research project I have been engaged in during my graduate studies is meant to open the way to the pharmacological exploitation of plant polyphenols, a vast family of natural compounds present in many foods and drinks. A large amount of data shows that many of them have noteworthy biological properties, but their efficacy is severely hindered by the low bioavailability of these compounds. As a result of a low level of absorption and of a rapid metabolism/degradation in the intestinal and hepatic compartments only small amounts of polyphenols are found in the bloodstream, and then mostly as metabolites. The first part of my doctorate work was aimed at circumventing the obstacle posed by low bioavailability through the development of “pr...
