  2. 11. Towards Mosquitocides for Prevention of Vector-Borne Infectious Diseases : discovery and Development of Acetylcholinesterase 1 Inhibitors

    Author : Sofie Knutsson; Anna Linusson; Fredrik Almqvist; Andreas Larsson; Ulf Nilsson; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Mosquito; vector-borne diseases; vector control; insecticide; acetylcholinesterase; medicinal chemistry; high-throughput screening; organic synthesis; homology modeling; structure activity relationship; structure selectivity relationship; datorlingvistik; computational linguistics; organisk kemi; Organic Chemistry;

    Abstract : Diseases such as malaria and dengue impose great economic burdens and are a serious threat to public health, with young children being among the worst affected. These diseases are transmitted by mosquitoes, also called disease vectors, which are able to transmit both parasitic and viral infections. READ MORE

  4. 12. New alternatives to combat Listeria monocytogenes and Chlamydia trachomatis : Design, synthesis, and evaluation of substituted ring-fused 2-pyridones as anti-virulent agents

    Author : Martina Kulén; Fredrik Almqvist; Anna Linusson Jonsson; Fritiof Pontén; Morten B. Strøm; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Antibiotic resistance; anti-virulence; Listeria monocytogenes; Chlamydia trachomatis; ring-fused 2-pyridone; organic synthesis; structure-based design; PrfA; drug design; structure-activity relationship;

    Abstract : Antibiotic resistance has become a global health burden with the number of resistant bacteria continuously increasing. Antibiotic drugs act by being either bactericidal (killing bacteria) or bacteriostatic (inhibiting growth of bacteria). However, these modes of action increase the selective pressure on the bacteria.

  5. 13. Antiadhesive agents targeting uropathogenic Escherichia coli : Multivariate studies of protein-protein and protein-carbohydrate interactions

    Author : Andreas Larsson; Jan Kihlberg; Fredrik Almqvist; Mats Larhed; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Organic chemistry; Antibacterial; pili; antiadhesive agents; structure based design; statistical molecular design; 2-pyridone; amino acid derivative; galabiose; enaminone; SPR; ELISA; QSAR; Organisk kemi; Organic chemistry; Organisk kemi; organisk kemi; Organic Chemistry;

    Abstract : This thesis describes studies directed towards development of novel antiadhesive agents, with particular emphasis on compounds that prevent attachment of bacteria to a host-cell. Three different proteins involved in the assembly or function of adhesive pili in uropathogenic Escherichia coli have been targeted either by rational structure based design or statistical molecular methods.

  6. 14. Molecular Imaging of Diabetic Kidney Tissue and Binding Studies of Proinsulin C-peptide

    Author : Lina Lindfors; Jan Kihlberg; Ingela Lanekoff; Fredrik Almqvist; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Diabetic kidney disease; Proinsulin C-peptide; GPR146; Mass spectrometry imaging; nano-DESI; Kemi; Chemistry;

    Abstract : Diabetic kidney disease is a serious complication of diabetes with a complex and incompletely understood pathology. In this work, the molecular changes in diabetic rat kidneys at a very early disease stage were studied using nanospray desorption electrospray ionisation mass spectrometry imaging. READ MORE

  7. 15. Design & Synthesis of Protein Interacting Affinity Ligands and Protease Inhibitors

    Author : Charlotta Lindquist; Hans Adolfsson; Fredrik Almqvist; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Organic synthesis; Organisk syntes; organisk kemi; Organic Chemistry;

    Abstract : There is a growing need of both protein drugs and synthetic drugs in the fight against many life-threatening diseases. The first part of this thesis deals with the design and synthesis of high affinity binding ligands for the purification of protein drugs. READ MORE
