Thanks to the intensive development of nanomedicine, we are getting better and better medicinal substances used in anticancer therapies. Of particular interest are also new drug delivery methods employing different pharmaceutical carriers. An interesting example of such a carrier can be a derivative of [60]fullerene, containing both a carboxyl group and a hydroxyl group in...
The team under the supervision of Prof. Eng. Stanisław Krompiec is working on, among others, the development of efficient and effective methods for the synthesis of perylene and coronene derivatives. These chemical compounds are of increasing interest, primarily in the field of chemistry and materials science – due to their unique properties. These interesting products...

|Małgorzata Kłoskowicz| Ointments, creams and gels that we use in our daily skin care usually contain additional chemical compounds that enhance skin penetration. Thanks to them, active ingredients reach their destination more easily, which increases the effectiveness of the cosmetic. This also applies to pharmaceuticals. Such enhancement of the effectiveness of active ingredients through the...
Scientists from the University of Silesia and the Wrocław University of Science and Technology have developed a new ionic liquids based antifungal preparation for the preservation of books, documents, and pieces of art made with the use of paper. Precious items are usually created with the use of delicate materials, which are vulnerable to destruction,...
It goes without saying how important it is to search for new active medicinal substances that can be used in anticancer therapies. Scientists from the University of Silesia know this very well, conducting intensive research on drugs and designing new active ingredients that can support us in the fight against cancer. Such a compound, which...
