BIOISOSTERES OF AMPA: CONFORMATIONAL ANALYSIS AND STRUCTURE ACTIVITY RELATIONSHIP
Glutamate is the major excitatory neurotransmitter in the mammalian central nervous system (CNS). Concentrations of L-glutamate in the CNS are regulated by a family of excitatory amino acid transporters (EAATs) that rapidly sequester and concentrate glutamate in glia and neurons, and thereby …

Establishing a structure-activity-relationship for small molecule non-sugar glycomimetics
… assays did not show any reasonable biological activity. HGF/SF has been shown to activate downstream signalling of the oncogene product c-Met which is a biomarker for cancer(s) and can be associated with poorer outcomes for patients.

A Structure-Activity Relationship Study of Dihydroajoenes as Anti-Cancer Agents
… known to possess in vitro and in vivo anticancer activity based on the presence of a vinyl disulfide as its pharmacophore. This thesis reports on the synthesis of dihydroajoenes, a novel set of ajoene analogues, containing a saturated double bond, in which the intention was to study the influence …

Structure-Activity Relationship Studies of Sphingosine Kinase Inhibitors and Mitochondrial Uncouplers
… which differ with respect to their cellular activity and localization. As the key mediators in the synthesis of S1P, SphKs have attracted attention as viable targets for pharmaceutical inhibition. To validate their potential as therapeutic targets, we aimed to develop potent, selective, and …

Further Exploring the Structure Activity Relationship (SAR) of MMV008138 and MMV1803522
… falciparum. However, this lead showed no activity in mouse models. This lack of activity may be due to poor metabolic stability of the compound. However, a significant increase in in vitro potency could also improve in vivo activity. Towards that end, I focused on further variation of the …

Synthesis and structure-activity relationship of a series of sigma receptor ligands
… drugs. In an attempt to elucidate effectual structure-activity relationships, a series of N-phenylpropyl- N'-benzylpiperazine and N-phenylpropyl-4-benzylpiperidine analogs systematically substituted on both phenyl rings was synthesized. These ligands were specifically designed to have certain …

Structure-activity relationship of octreotide analogues labeled with rhenium and technetium-99m
… was determined via three-dimensional molecular structure calculation, using two-dimensional NMR experiments as experimental constraints. From the obtained structures, it was concluded that the metal-cyclized Tyr³-octreotate's receptor binding site configuration was, to some extent, similar to …

The design of cyclodextrins for delivery of siRNA - a structure-activity relationship
… chemistry of the incorporated CD. The chemical structure significantly influenced the degree of gene knockdown. The primary amine showed superior efficiency in both monomeric amphiphilic cationic CDs and polymeric cationic CDs. Results indicate that further functionalisation of the CD is …

Structure-activity relationship studies and biological evaluation of selective sphingosine kinase inhibitors
… Herein, we document our efforts in profiling the structure-activity relationships (SAR) of SphK2 through an iterative process of synthesis and biological testing. First, an SAR structured around the head and linker region of our lead molecule, SLR080811, was performed. SLR080811 has a Ki of 1.3 µM …

Structure-Activity Relationship and Mitochondrial Actions of Ionic Liquids as Potential Anticancer Agents
… agents. For these reasons, a well-defined structure-activity relationship (SAR) describing IL anticancer activity is important, however the current SAR is limited due in part to the low structural diversity of reported ILs. One of the aims of this project was to expand the SAR of ILs by …
