Dr. Magrioti specializes in medicinal chemistry and organic synthesis, with key contributions to:

• Phospholipase A2 inhibition for treating inflammation and neurodegenerative diseases
• Design of β-lactones and γ-lactones as antibacterial agents against mycobacteria
• Microwave-assisted and NHC-catalyzed synthetic methodologies
• Structure-Activity Relationship (SAR) studies for drug optimization
• Exploration of α-ketoamides, hydroxamic acids, and oxothiazole derivatives
• Investigation of fatty acid metabolism in neuronal survival mechanisms

Her recent publications (2020-2025) emphasize green chemistry approaches, such as microwave-assisted synthesis and NHC-catalysis, alongside therapeutic applications in diabetes and chronic inflammation. She has contributed to understanding phospholipase A2 enzyme families and their roles in disease pathology.
