2021/10/01 - 2022/12/15 | "Intelligent hydrogels for cartilage regeneration"
The work developed in the master's thesis aimed the preparetion of CHI hydrogel that promotes cartilage regeneration, by attenuating
inflammation, from the phased release of D-glucosamine units by the action of encapsulated enzymes.

This project propose the synthesis of hybrids combining N-glucosamine with flavones using simple coupling methodologies: Heck
reaction. The structure of flavones and N-glucosamine was functionalyzed with specific terminal (alkene, and halogen) for
doing the coupling reaction between these scaffolds.
