Design and Fabrication of a Polymeric Microfluidic Device for Automated

Creator:: Warner, Kelsie E.
Abstract:: Gene synthesis is an important tool in molecular biology. However, the current bench-top method of gene synthesis is a costly, time-intensive and reagent-consuming process. Lab-on-chip technology has many benefits over current bench top methods. Microchips consume smaller reagent volumes, are reusable and less expensive to make. This thesis explores the...

Removal of Radioactive Strontium, Iodine, and Uranium from Contaminated Groundwater : Sorption Processes and Properties

Creator:: Leonard, Mary E.
Abstract:: Iodine-129 is a key risk driver at sites where nuclear materials have been fabricated or processed, and it is a predominant isotope of concern in long-term waste storage strategies. I-129 exists primarily as iodate in the subsurface at the Hanford Site in south-central Washington State. Between 15 and 40% of...

A stereochemically controlled approach to the morphine alkaloids: racemization of 8,9-benzo-4,5-dihydro-6,7-pyrido[4,3-d] oxanin-3(2H)-ones

Creator:: Runyan, Mark T.
Abstract:: A method for the control of absolute stereochemistry in morphine syntheses has been demonstrated by the resolution and efficient racemization of the advanced morphine precursor , 9-methoxy-3-methyl-5,6-dihydro-3H-benzofuro[3,2-e]isoquinoline- 7(7aH)-one, I. This was accomplished by the facile coversion of optically resolved I to its ring opened form, 5,6,7,8-tetrahydro-10-methoxy-3-methyl-7-oxo[1]benzoxonino[ 6,7-c]pyridinium tosylate, II, (Equation...

Preparation of Tacrolimus-loaded Biodegradable Nanoparticles for Sustained Drug Delivery

Creator:: Kinser, Reid
Abstract:: Tacrolimus is an immunosuppressant drug approved by the FDA for the prevention of organ transplant rejection. However, the use of this drug is hindered by its narrow therapeutic window and extreme insolubility in water. Due to these properties, the currently used tacrolimus preparations must be administered once or twice daily...

New Inorganic Pigments from Mineral Structures

Creator:: Schettini Mejia, Carlo A.
Abstract:: The discovery of new blue pigments is a field of great interest, as commercially available pigments present properties that make them undesirable such as poor sustainability, cost, and stability. By researching solid solutions with the melilite structure, we discovered a new solid solution Sr2Zn1-xNixGe2O7, with 0.1 ≤ x ≤ 0.6,...

Evaluation of Bacterial F1FO-ATPase Inhibitors for Synergistic Effects

Creator:: Heppe, Kenan G.
Abstract:: F1FO-ATP synthase targeting antimicrobials apoptolidin 1 (A1), (+)-erythromefloquine, and oligomycin were tested in vitro for synergistic minimum inhibitory concentrations against Staphylococcus aureus. Synergy was strictly defined as inhibition by at most 25% the MIC of each participating drug. Ampicillin, with an MIC of 0.8 ug/mL, served as a negative control....

Aging and oxidative damage to mitochondrial membrane proteins

Creator:: Tong, Tony T.
Abstract:: Mitochondria provide energy for biological cells to function, but this process is also a source of oxygen radicals that are capable of damaging nearby proteins. Mitochondrial protein damage can eventually lead to cell death, especially in the case of heart cells, where mitochondria are present in the highest concentrations. As...

Cis-2,5-diaminobicyclo[2.2.2]octane : a novel C₂-symmetric scaffold for asymmetric catalysis

Creator:: Shaw, Subrata
Abstract:: This thesis describes the development of a new enantioselective synthetic method employing chiral cis-2,5-diaminobicyclo[2.2.2]octane-based organometallic catalysts. The significance of this new method to organic synthesis is illustrated with preparation of enantioenriched products that are transformed to important pharmaceutical agents. Chapter 1 provides a brief historical overview of asymmetric catalysis, especially...

Intercalation, exfoliation, and nanocomposites of layered inorganic compounds

Creator:: Sukpirom, Nipaka
Abstract:: The melt intercalation of poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) between layers of MoO₃ and MPS3 (M=Mn,Cd) is obtained by heating the ground mixture and LiₓMoO₃, KₓMn₁-ₓ/₂PS₃, or KCd₁-ₓ/₂PS₃. The products are characterized by powder X-ray diffraction (XRD). Below the melting temperature of PEO (66 °C), intercalation rates and yields are low. By...

Direct atom transfer vs. ring expansion in reaction of rhenium oxo complexes with cyclooctene epoxides and episulfides

Creator:: Khownium, Kriangsak
Abstract:: The rhenium (V) complex Tp'ReO₂ (Tp' = hydrido-tris-(3,5- dimethylpyrazolyl)borate), generated in situ from PPh₃ reduction of Tp'Re0₃, reacts with small ring heterocycles such as epoxides and episulf ides. The strained trans-cyclooctene ring provides an unusual thermodynamic bias against direct atom transfer, but trans-cyclooctene oxide still produces substantial amounts of trans-cyclooctene....
