Design, synthesis and biochemical evaluation of novel 1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinolines as anti-proliferative agents in breast cancer cells
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). School of Pharmacy & Pharmaceutical Sciences, 2009)Isoquinolines are naturally occurring alkaloids that have shown biological activity in a number of different areas. In terms of breast cancer, tetrahydroisoquinoline based compounds have shown potential as selective estrogen ... -
The design, synthesis, and evaluation of the Azetidin-2-one ring as a scaffold for novel combretastatin A4 analogues
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). School of Pharmacy & Pharmaceutical Sciences, 2009)Combretastatin A-4 (CA4) is a natural product first isolated from the Combretum caffrum South African willow tree by Pettit and co-workers. CA4 has proved to be a potent antimitotic agent, with a mechanism of action ... -
Identification of novel targets for cancer chemotherapeutic agents : design, synthesis and evaluation of chromene based compounds with affinity for steroid hormone receptors
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). School of Pharmacy & Pharmaceutical Sciences, 2013)Breast cancer is the second most common cancer in Ireland and accounts for 28% of all cancers in women in Ireland, with an average of 1726 new diagnosis each year. One of the major therapeutic advances in clinical treatment ... -
Development of the beta-lactam structure as a scaffold for biologically active compounds
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). School of Pharmacy & Pharmaceutical Sciences, 2007)Tamoxifen is a selective estrogen receptor modulator (SERM) with a triarylethylene structure which acts as an estrogen antagonist in the breast. This drug is used extensively as an endocrine treatment for breast cancer, ... -
Studies in the design and synthesis of novel selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). School of Pharmacy & Pharmaceutical Sciences, 2005)The serotonin transporter (SERT) has been the target of several modern day antidepressants with the focus on achieving selectivity over other monoamine transporters, thereby minimising the side effects observed in the older ... -
Synthesis of intermediates for carbapenem antibiotics and synthetic analogues of dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA)
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). School of Pharmacy & Pharmaceutical Sciences, 2000)The work presented in this thesis is divided into two parts. Part one consists of the synthesis and chemical modification of β-lactams as potential intermediates for carbapenem antibiotics. Part two describes the synthesis ... -
Design and synthesis of novel isoquinoline monoamineoxidase inhibitors
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). School of Pharmacy & Pharmaceutical Sciences, 2003)The work described in this thesis consists of the synthesis and biological evaluation of a series of reduced isoquinoline derivatives. MAO is an enzyme involved in the metabolic degradation of catecholamine neurotransmitters. ...
