  2. 1. Biologically Interesting Compounds from Natural Sources

    Author : Veronica de la Parra; Centrum för analys och syntes; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; cytotoxicity; Natural products; terpenoids; vasorelaxant activity; allylmercaptane; diabetes mellitus type II; Organisk kemi; Organic chemistry; Cacalia decomposita; GPR40 receptor; TRP channel;

    Abstract : Natural products have traditionally played a major role in the drug discovery process. Besides constituting extremely popular drugs in the market, and an ever-increasing source of interesting and novel chemical structures, they have also aided the characterization of many a pharmacological target.

  4. 2. The discovery of antiviral compounds targeting adenovirus and herpes simplex virus : assessment of synthetic compounds and natural products

    Author : Mårten Strand; Göran Wadell; Mikael Elofsson; Ya-Fang Mei; Lieve Naesens; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; virology; antiviral; adenovirus; herpes simplex virus; small molecule; inhibitor; hsv; drug discovery; medicinsk virologi; Medical Virology; datorlingvistik; computational linguistics; mikrobiologi; Microbiology;

    Abstract : There is a need for new antiviral drugs. Especially for the treatment of adenovirus infections, since no approved anti-adenoviral drugs are available. Adenovirus infections in healthy persons are most often associated with respiratory disease, diarrhea and infections of the eye. These infections can be severe, but are most often self-limiting.

  5. 3. BIOACTIVE ORGANOMETALLIC COMPOUNDS

    Author : Haris Bjelosevic; Centrum för analys och syntes; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; biological; kinetic; gold; platinum; bioactive; phosphine; ruthenocene; Ferrocene;

    Abstract : Various metal complexes have been used in medicine traditionally, although their use was often connected with mystery and with a lack of empirically (clinically) proven effect. In modern times, the development of biochemistry, bioinorganic and bioorganometallic chemistry allows us more in-depth understanding of biological action of metal containing substances. READ MORE

  6. 4. 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

  7. 5. Optical sensors in drinking water production : Towards automated process control in relation to natural organic matter

    Author : Claudia Cascone; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES;

    Abstract : Access to safe and clean drinking water is a basic human right (A/RES/64/292). In Sweden, large drinking water treatment plants use mainly surface water as water source. The long-term trend of increasing natural organic matter (NOM) in boreal and north European surface waters negatively affects the overall performance of the treatment processes. READ MORE
