  1. 21. Design and Synthesis of Inhibitors Targeting the Hepatitis C Virus NS3 Serine Protease and the Aspartic Protease BACE-1

    Author : Marcus Bäck; Ingemar Kvarnström; Stephen Hanessian; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP;

    Abstract : This thesis describes the synthesis of molecules designed to inhibit the hepatitis C virus (HCV) NS3 serine protease and the human aspartic protease BACE-1, and it also reports the structure-activity relationships between potential inhibitors and the targeted enzymes. In addition, consideration is given to the class of enzymes known as proteases, as well as the question of why such enzymes can be regarded as suitable targets for developing drugs to combat diseases in general.

  2. 22. 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

  3. 23. Design and Synthesis of Amine Building Blocks and Protease Inhibitors

    Author : Susana Ayesa Alvarez; Bertil Samuelsson; Thomas Olsson; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Organic chemistry; Organisk kemi; Organic Chemistry; organisk kemi;

    Abstract : The first part of this thesis addresses the design and synthesis of amine building blocks accomplished by applying two different synthetic procedures, both of which were developed using solid-phase chemistry. Chapter 1 presents the first of these methods, entailing a practical solid-phase parallel synthesis route to N-monoalkylated aminopiperidines and aminopyrrolidines achieved by selective reductive alkylation of primary and/or secondary amines.

  4. 24. Design and synthesis of inhibitors that target the serine protease thrombin, the malarial aspartyl proteases plasmepsin I and II, and the hepatitis C virus NS3 serine protease

    Author : Per-Ola Johansson; Mats Larhed; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP;

    Abstract : This thesis addresses the design, synthesis, and structure-activity relationships of protease inhibitors that target the serine protease thrombin, the malarial aspartic proteases plasmepsin I and II, and the hepatitis C virus (HCV) NS3 serine protease. Furthermore, the backgrounds of each of the three types of diseases in question are discussed in detail, and consideration is given as to why it is assumed that inhibition of the mentioned proteases will help prevent or cure cardiovascular diseases, malaria, and hepatitis C.

  5. 25. Protease Activity, Inhibition and Ligand Interaction Analysis : Developments and Applications for Drug Discovery

    Author : Thomas Gossas; Helena Danielson; Mikael Widersten; Alexander Wlodawer; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Biochemistry; proteases; kinetics; biosensors; inhibition; calcium; drug discovery; Biokemi;

    Abstract : The present study has focused on characterising protease-ligand interactions in the context of drug discovery. The proteases that have been studied are human matrix metallopeptidase 12 (MMP-12), HIV-protease and Hepatitis C virus (HCV) NS3/NS4A protease. READ MORE
