Investigation of various ligand design approaches and synthesis of diverse heterocyclic bioactive compounds
(NUI Galway, 2019-09-27)
Structure-based design and ligand-based design are one of the most common approaches used to develop new inhibitors against druggable protein targets in various human disorders. Mcl-1 is a protein belongs to Bcl-2 family ...
Hydrogen peroxide and hydrohalic acid mediated synthesis of halogenated benzimidazolequinones and anti-cancer evaluation of benzotriazinones
(NUI Galway, 2019-11-29)
Chapter 1 provides a literature review of metal and metal-free oxidative annulations employed to access ring-fused benzimidazoles while highlighting their significance and application towards anti-tumour benzimidazolequinones. ...
Synthesis and evaluation of multivalent ligands for macrophage galactose C-type lectin. Development of new chemical tools for immunological research and structural investigation of the lectin with GalNAc and derivatives
(NUI Galway, 2019-09-30)
Synthetic chemistry can provide powerful tools to explore the correlation between an antigen’s
chemical structure and the type of immune response triggered. This thesis work has focused
on the design, synthesis and ...
Small-molecule-based crosslinking and bioconjugation of biomolecules
(NUI Galway, 2020-01-10)
Chapter 1: The chemical modification and bioconjugation of proteins is an expanding yet challenging area of chemical biology. The superior nucleophilicity of cysteine presents it as a uniquely reactive bioconjugation handle. ...
Toward dual-action platinum(IV) complexes with bioactive ligands as potent anticancer agents
(NUI Galway, 2020-02-20)
Platinum agents (cisplatin, carboplatin and oxaliplatin) have a crucial role in the treatment of many cancers for several decades. However, they have severe side effects and a high number of patients have intrinsic or ...
