Project description
Water-soluble phytochemical inhibitors for Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s prevention
Phytochemicals, natural compounds found in plant-based foods, exhibit antioxidant properties as demonstrated in laboratory studies. With the support of the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions programme, the PhytoAPP project will develop innovative water-soluble phytochemical inhibitors for preventing Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s diseases. It will explore nanotechnological solutions to address the challenge of low water solubility in phytochemicals, employing fullerene-enhanced synthesis to create water-soluble green phytocomplexes. Collaborating with partners possessing multidisciplinary expertise in nanomaterials, physics, engineering, green chemistry, biochemistry and medical science, the project aims to carry out groundbreaking research and innovation activities. The primary focus is on the application of phytoproducts to enhance health and well-being. Financial assistance is available for researchers with disabilities to ensure physical accessibility and foster inclusion.
Objective
Under PhytoAPP project it is expected to build new and enhance existing network of international and inter-sectoral cooperation in the form of joint research and innovation activities between the project Partners with multidisciplinary skills and complementary competences in nanomaterials, physics, engineering, green chemistry, biochemistry and medical science.
It will significantly strengthen the interaction between academic and non-academic sectors within MS/AC Countries Portugal, Netherlands, Denmark, Slovak Republic, Ukraine and Third Country Kazakhstan, in the field of the innovative phytoproducts application for the health and well-being. The main objectives of the PHYTOAPP project are design, development and delivery of the innovative water-soluble Phytochemical Inhibitors for Alzheimer and Parkinson diseases prevention. To achieve this goal the PHYTOAPP project will explore the innovative nanotechnological solutions to overcome phytochemicals limitation faced by their low water-solubility via fullerene-enhanced innovative synthesis of water-soluble green Phytocomplexes, by means of cooperation between Researchers and SMEs Partners from EU and Partners Countries. On the other hand, the involved parties are eager to promote innovation in this area in accordance with the provisions of the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community which seek to strengthen the scientific and technological basis of Community industry and encourage it to become more competitive at the international level
