  2. 1. Novel biologically active compounds by semisynthesis with fungal metabolites

    Author : Johan Eriksson Bajtner; Centrum för analys och syntes; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Organisk kemi; Organic chemistry; bioactive compounds.; isovelleral; podoscyphic acid; Natural products; semisynthesis;

    Abstract : Natural products have been shown to be an important source of novel compounds for the development of new drugs and pesticides. However, many biologically active natural products contain reactive functionalities that make them toxic. READ MORE

  4. 2. Salinomycin analogs : Mechanistic probes and structure–activity relationships against cancer stem cells

    Author : Björn Borgström; Centrum för analys och syntes; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; salinomycin; semi–synthesis; ionophore properties; cancer stem cells; fluorescent probe;

    Abstract : Cancer stem cells are a subpopulation of cells that possess an increased tumorigenic potential. Such cells are connected to drug resistance, metastasis, and cancer recurrence. In 2009, the polyether ionophore salinomycin was shown to exhibit selective activity against cancer stem cells. READ MORE

  5. 3. Synthesis of Bioactive Analogues of Marasmane Dialdehydes

    Author : Daniel Röme; Centrum för analys och syntes; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Organisk kemi; Organic chemistry; Cancer; Enantioselective synthesis; Totalsynthesis; Semisynthesis; Cytotoxicity; Anti-tumor activity; Isovelleraloids; Marasmic acid; Marasmane dialdehydes; Isovelleral;

    Abstract : The modification of drugs into pro-drugs is an attractive concept allowing you to tweak the chemical and physical properties of a drug without changing the original structure of the active compound. In principle, any compound possessing a preferred biological activity can be transformed into a pro-drug. READ MORE

  6. 4. Amino acid-catalyzed synthesis of amino acid derivatives : Application and semi-synthesis of Paclitaxel, Docetaxel and their derivatives

    Author : Pawel Dziedzic; Armando Córdova; Stephen Hanessian; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Organocatlysis; amino acids; syntesis; Taxol and Taxotere derivatives; Chemistry; Kemi; organisk kemi; Organic Chemistry;

    Abstract : This thesis deals with different applications of organocatalysis, where amino acid derivatives and small peptides are applied as catalysts. First, the development of environmentally friendly aldol reactions, carried out in aqueous media is illustrated. The corresponding β-hydroxy ketones are formed with ee´s up to 99%. READ MORE

  7. 5. Synthesis of bioactive natural products and analogues

    Author : Dan Killander; Centrum för analys och syntes; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; SAR; natural product; total synthesis; benzochromene; fluorene; cannabinoid; statin; TRPA1; TSLP; antiprotozoal; nociception; asthma; inflammation;

    Abstract : Natural products have until recently provided the only remedy for treatment of diseases. The development of modern chemistry in the last centuries has opened the door for tapping into the chemical diversity found in nature. Synthetic natural products, together with analogues, are an important piece in the puzzle towards curing many ailments. READ MORE
