  • New Treatments for HIV and Cancer: Uncovering Bioactive Compounds from Small Molecule Sources

    Creator:
    Overacker, Ross D.
    Abstract:
    Small molecule drugs have been instrumental in our fight against diseases, beginning when some of the earliest ancient cultures used plant remedies to treat illnesses. More recently, the skill of isolating and characterizing the active ingredients within bioactive plants and microbial extracts has led to the isolation and design of...

  • Computational Investigations of Transition Metal Catalyses and Amorphous Metal Oxides : Accelerating Scientific Discovery Through Automation

    Creator:
    Mustard, Thomas J. L.
    Abstract:
    Automation of computational chemistry, while only an engineering feat, has the potential to accelerating computational research be removing all by the science. The work in this thesis mainly discusses fundamental understanding of complex chemical systems. What is not obvious are the numerous tasks necessary for this fundamental understanding. Under the...

  • Total Synthesis of Tryptamine Alkaloids from the Arundo and Leuconotis Genera

    Creator:
    Ferreira, Andrew
    Abstract:
    The first part of this manuscript is about the total synthesis of the Arundo donax bis(indole) natural products. The A. donax alkaloids were prepared using the first example of an ynindole Diels–Alder reaction. Each were then separated, isolated, and determined to have stable enantiomeric conformations at room temperature (Chen, J.;...

  • Studies toward the total synthesis of sanglifehrin A

    Creator:
    Suttisintong, Khomson
    Abstract:
    Studies toward synthesis of subunits of sanglifehrin A, an immunosuppressant featuring a highly substituted [5,5]-spirolactam moiety as well as a 22-membered macrocycle are described. The macrolactone contains a peptidic backbone characterized by an unusual [beta]-substituted (S)-piperazic acid and (S)-m-hydroxyphenylalanine units. These studies resulted in the synthesis of advanced intermediate 358...
