A robust Mycobacterium smegmatis Assay for the Discovery of Anti-tubercular Metabolites from Soil Bacteria

Creator:: Chen, Kathryn P
Abstract:: Tuberculosis (TB) is a pressing global health issue with approximately one third of the world’s population infected by this bacterium. As one of the most dangerous infectious diseases, it has killed approximately 1.7 million people of all ages around the world per year (World Health Organization, 2016). Currently, several drugs...

Towards the Perfect Marriage Between Theory and Experiments in Drug Discovery and Synthesis : Insights into Structure Determination of Complex Natural Products and Mechanistic Understandings of Lactam Synthesis

Creator:: Snyder, Kevin M.
Abstract:: In this report, three studies are presented that aid in the development of drug discovery and their synthesis. In each, the importance of the marriage between computations and experiments is highlighted. Continued efforts in this vein are essential for future efforts towards improving human health. The first case study investigated...

Synthesis, characterization, and analysis of nitroaromatic compounds

Creator:: McIntosh, Melissa Luana
Abstract:: Nitroaromatic compounds have important chemical applications and can be found in nature as pollution sources. Synthetic nitroaromatic compounds have been used in a variety of materials including explosives, pharmaceuticals, dyes, plastics, and pesticides. These compounds can find their way into the environment through normal or improper disposal methods. Poly-aromatic compounds...

A Pyrone Diels–Alder Approach to Substituted Indoles and Carbazoles and the Synthesis of New Ropinirole Analogues

Creator:: Points, Gary L., III
Abstract:: Aromatic heterocycles are core structural motifs in natural products, pharmaceuticals and biological polymers. Indoles, in particular, represent a significant subclass of aromatic heterocycles, both in terms of sheer numbers, but also in biological and pharmaceutical relevance. As such, new methodologies for the synthesis of indoles represent an important and continually...

Gene Expression, Structure Elucidation, and Bioactivity of Aspergillus Natural Products

Creator:: Neuhaus, George F.
Abstract:: The study of natural products (NPs) and their application has shaped humanity. Starting with the idea of using plants as medicine, it has now grown into the science of purifying and identifying organic molecules from nature to study their inherent biological activities. Understanding the molecular structures of NPs is the...

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...

Pactamycin Inspired Drug Discovery: A Synthetic and Chemoenzymatic Approach

Creator:: Brumsted, Corey J.
Abstract:: Pactamycin, first reported in 1962, is a potent antitumor antibiotic produced by the soil bacterium Streptomyces pactum. Structurally, it contains a cyclopentitol core unit, a 3-aminoacetophenone (3AAP), a 6-methylsalicylic acid (6-MSA), and a N,N-dimethyl urea. The aminocyclopentitol ring is derived from glucose, possibly via N-acetyl glucosamine (GlcNAc), the 3-aminoacetophenone (3AAP)...

Mass-Spectrometric Methods for OxPTM Characterization and Quantitative Proteomics of Oxidative Stress Response

Creator:: Huang, Lin
Abstract:: Oxidative stress is deﬁned as an imbalance that favors the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) over an organism's antioxidant defense. ROS have the ability to damage, either directly or indirectly, biomolecules including DNA, proteins, carbohydrates, and lipids. Various pathological conditions and environmental and chronic diseases have been associated with...

Conformationally chiral diphenylethers and the enantioselective Ullmann etherification

Creator:: Salih, M. Quamar
Abstract:: Since the discovery of molecular chirality in 1848, this notion has had a substantial impact on medicine, biology, and chemistry. Extensive effort has been directed towards the construction of chiral molecules that contain sp³ hybridized stereogenic centers. In contrast, less effort has been dedicated to molecules that are chiral by...

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...
