  2. 6. Design and Synthesis of Malarial Aspartic Protease Inhibitors

    Author : Karolina Ersmark; Anders Hallberg; Michael Rowley; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Pharmaceutical chemistry; malaria; plasmepsin; aspartic protease; protease inhibitor; macrocycle; Farmaceutisk kemi; Pharmaceutical chemistry; Farmaceutisk kemi;

    Abstract : Malaria is one of the major public health problems in the world. Approximately 500 million people are afflicted and almost 3 million people die from the disease each year. Of the four causative species Plasmodium falciparum is the most lethal. READ MORE

  4. 7. Design and Synthesis of Aspartic and Serine Protease Inhibitors : Targeting the BACE-1 and the HCV NS3 Protease

    Author : Fredrik Wångsell; Mats Larhed; Jari Yli-Kauhaluoma; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Alzheimer s disease; BACE-1; transition state mimetic; tertiary hydroxyl group; hydroxyethylene; statine; hydroxyethylamine; hepatitis C; HCV NS3; bioisostere; protease inhibitor.; Pharmaceutical chemistry; Läkemedelskemi; Medicinal Chemistry; Läkemedelskemi;

    Abstract : This thesis describes work done to design and synthesize protease inhibitors, with the intention of developing therapeutic agents for Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and the chronic liver condition caused by infection of the hepatitis C virus (HCV). AD is the most common form of dementia, and HCV infection is the primary reason for liver transplantation in industrialized countries. READ MORE

  5. 8. Tertiary Alcohol- or β-Hydroxy γ-Lactam-Based HIV-1 Protease Inhibitors : Microwave Applications in Batch and Continuous Flow Organic Synthesis

    Author : Per Öhrngren; Mats Larhed; Knud J. Jensen; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; HIV; AIDS; protease inhibitor; aspartic protease; lactam; tertiary alcohol; continuous-flow; microwave; non-resonant; MAOS; Medicinal Chemistry; Läkemedelskemi;

    Abstract : Since the outbreak of the HIV/AIDS pandemic in the 1980s, the disease has cost the lives of over 30 million people, and a further 33 million are currently living with the HIV infection. With the appropriate treatment, HIV/AIDS can today be regarded as a chronic but manageable disease. READ MORE

  6. 9. Structural Studies of Bacteriophage PRR1 and HIV-1 protease

    Author : Magnus Persson; Lars Liljas; Kaspars Tars; Félix Rey; Uppsala universitet; []

    Abstract : Viruses are a diverse genera of organisms adapted to thrive in many different hosts from prokaryotic to eukaryotic.We present here the structure of bacteriophage PRR1 virus-like particle (VLP), belonging to Leviviridae family. Our structure reveals calcium ions in the VLP. READ MORE

  7. 10. Characterization of conjugated protease inhibitors

    Author : Erika Billinger; Gunnar Johansson; Boris Turk; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : Serine protease inhibitors; conjugation; immobilization; leupeptin analogues; potato serine protease inhibitor; soluble carriers; inorganic carriers.; Biokemi; Biochemistry;

    Abstract : The overall theme of this thesis is a step by step approach for the design and characterization of conjugated protease inhibitors. This involves both a new assay method for protease activity and protease inhibition (paper I), a study of the stoichiometry for protease inhibitor interaction (paper II), design of inhibitory peptides (paper IV) and the construction of inhibitor conjugates (paper III & IV).
