1. Design and Synthesis of Angiotensin IV Peptidomimetics Targeting the Insulin-Regulated Aminopeptidase (IRAP)
Abstract : Peptidomimetics derived from the bioactive hexapeptide angiotensin IV (Ang IV, Val1-Tyr2-Ile3-His4-Pro5-Phe6) have been designed and synthesized. These peptidomimetics are aimed at inhibiting the insulin-regulated amino peptidase (IRAP), also known as the AT4 receptor. READ MORE

2. Cyclic Sulfamide HIV-1 Protease Inhibitors : Design, Synthesis and Modelling
Abstract : Ten years ago, the first protease inhibitor targeting the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) was approved for clinical use. Highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART), which combined protease and reverse transcriptase inhibitors, quickly became the standard therapy for treating patients infected with HIV and Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS).

3. Design and Synthesis of Novel Glutamine Synthetase Inhibitors and Development of Palladium(0)-Catalyzed Aminocarbonylation
Abstract : Tuberculosis (TB) is a major infectious disease, killing about 2 million people annually throughout the world. Today's TB treatment is a lengthy procedure involving a combination of antibiotics. No new TB drug has been introduced onto the market in the past 40 years, and the emergence of multi- and extensively drug-resistant TB calls for new drugs. READ MORE

4. Development and Application of Computational Methods in Antitubercular Drug Design : Identification of Novel Inhibitors of Ribonucleotide Reductase
Abstract : Tuberculosis kills approximately 1.7 million people each year around the world making it one of the most lethal infectious diseases. This thesis concerns the development of two computational tools that can support the early stages of drug discovery, and their use in an anti-tubercular drug discovery program. READ MORE

5. Hit Identification and Hit Expansion in Antituberculosis Drug Discovery : Design and Synthesis of Glutamine Synthetase and 1-Deoxy-D-Xylulose-5-Phosphate Reductoisomerase Inhibitors
Abstract : Since the discovery of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) as the bacterial agent causing tuberculosis, the permanent eradication of this disease has proven challenging. Although a number of drugs exist for the treatment of tuberculosis, 1.7 million people still die every year from this infection. READ MORE
