2. 1. Design and synthesis of HIV-1 protease inhibitors

   Author : Mathias Alterman; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Pharmaceutical chemistry; HIV-1; Protease; Inhibitors; Farmaceutisk kemi; Pharmaceutical chemistry; Farmaceutisk kemi; Organic Pharmaceutical Chemistry; organisk farmaceutisk kemi;

   Abstract : Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) is the causative agent of Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS). The C2-symmetric HIV-1 protease is one of the prime targets for chemotherapy in the treatment of the HIV infection. Inhibition of HIV-1 protease leads to immature and non-infectious viral particles.

4. 2. 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).

5. 3. Design and Synthesis of Serine and Aspartic Protease Inhibitors

   Author : Fredrik Wångsell; Ingemar Kvarnström; Olle Karlsson; Linköpings universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; organic chemistry; organic synthesis; metathesis; HCV; NS3; protease; proline isosteres; inhibitor; aspartic protease inhibitors; hydroxyethylene; Organic synthesis; Organisk syntes;

   Abstract : This thesis describes the design and synthesis of compounds that areintended to inhibit serine and aspartic proteases. The first part of the text deals with preparation of inhibitors of the hepatitis C virus (HCV) NS3 serine protease. Hepatitis C is predominantly a chronic disease that afflicts about 170 million people worldwide. READ MORE

6. 4. Cyclic Sulfamide HIV-1 Protease Inhibitors : Design, Synthesis and Modelling

   Author : Anna Ax; Anders Karlén; Anders Hallberg; Tommy Liljefors; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Pharmaceutical chemistry; AIDS; HIV; protease inhibitor; aspartic protease; molecular modelling; 3D-QSAR; CoMFA; Farmaceutisk kemi; Pharmaceutical chemistry; Farmaceutisk kemi;

   Abstract : Ten years ago, the first protease inhibitor targeting the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) was approved for clinical use. Highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART), which combined protease and reverse transcriptase inhibitors, quickly became the standard therapy for treating patients infected with HIV and Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS).

7. 5. Peptidomimetic Enzyme Inhibitors : Targeting M. tuberculosis Ribonucleotide Reductase and Hepatitis C Virus NS3 Protease

   Author : Johanna Nurbo; Anders Hallberg; Anders Karlén; Anja Sandström; Per Arvidsson; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; enzyme inhibitor; peptidomimetics; structure-activity relationship; tuberculosis; ribonucleotide reductase; hepatitis C virus; NS3 protease; Pharmaceutical chemistry; Farmaceutisk kemi; Medicinal Chemistry; Läkemedelskemi;

   Abstract : This thesis focuses on the design and synthesis of inhibitors targeting Mycobacterium tuberculosis ribonucleotide reductase (RNR) and hepatitis C virus (HCV) NS3 protease; enzymes that have been identified as potential drug targets for the treatment of tuberculosis and hepatitis C, respectively. Small peptides have been recognized as inhibitors of these enzymes. READ MORE
