  1. 16. Design and Synthesis of BACE-1 Inhibitors : Novel Compounds Targeting an Aspartic Protease Important in the Pathogenesis of Alzheimer’s Disease

    Author : Catarina Björklund; Bertil Samuelsson; Rolf Johansson; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Organic chemistry; Organisk kemi; organisk kemi; Organic Chemistry;

    Abstract : This thesis deals with the design and synthesis of protease inhibitors targeting the aspartic protease BACE-1 (β-site APP cleaving enzyme-1), an enzyme important in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer’s disease. The inhibitors are evaluated with respect to inhibition data, in a structure-activity relationship part. READ MORE

  2. 17. NMR spectroscopy and MD simulations of carbohydrates

    Author : Elin Säwén; Göran Widmalm; Manuel Martin Pastor; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NMR specroscopy; MD simulations; carbohydrates; Organic chemistry; Organisk kemi; organisk kemi; Organic Chemistry;

    Abstract : Knowledge about the structure, conformation and dynamics of carbohydrates is important in our understanding of the way carbohydrates function in biological systems, for example in intermolecular signaling and recognition. This thesis is a summary of five papers studying these properties in carbohydrate-containing molecules with NMR spectroscopy and molecular dynamics simulations. READ MORE

  3. 18. Synthesis and study of new oxazoline-based ligands

    Author : Mélanie Tilliet; Christina Moberg; Vincent Levacher; Jan H. van Maarseveen; KTH; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; organic chemistry; Organic chemistry; Organisk kemi;

    Abstract : This thesis deals with the study of oxazoline-based ligands in metal-catalyzed asymmetric reactions. The first part describes the synthesis of six new bifunctinal pyridine-bis(oxazoline) ligands and their applications in asymmetric metal-catalysis. READ MORE

  4. 19. Design and Synthesis of Inhibitors Targeting the Aspartic Proteases HIV-1 PR and BACE-1

    Author : Jenny Adrian Meredith; Bertil Samuelsson; Ulf Ellervik; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Organic chemistry; Organisk kemi; organisk kemi; Organic Chemistry;

    Abstract : This thesis describes the synthesis of molecules designed for inhibition of two aspartic proteases, viral HIV-1 PR and human BACE-1. It also reports on the structure activity relationships of the targeted enzyme inhibitors. It is estimated that currently 33 million people are infected with HIV, the causative agent of AIDS.

  5. 20. Palladium-Catalysed Couplings in Organic Synthesis : Exploring Catalyst-Presenting Strategies and Medicinal Chemistry Applications

    Author : Alejandro Trejos; Mats Larhed; Jianliang Xiao; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Mizoroki-Heck arylation; Suzuki coupling; domino reaction; stereoselective; palladium; chelation control; vinyl ether; HIV-protease inhibitors; HIV-integrase inhibitors; Kemi med inriktning mot organisk kemi; Chemistry with specialization in Organic Chemistry;

    Abstract : Palladium-catalysed coupling reactions have been embraced by synthetic chemists as one of the preferred means for smooth formation of new carbon-carbon bonds: a truly ubiquitous methodology of synthesizing complex molecules.This thesis describes the study of a series of palladium(0)-catalysed C2-arylations of a 1-cyclopentenyl ether, equipped with a chiral (S)-N-methyl-pyrrolidine auxiliary.
