Undergraduate Research Symposium
Triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) is one of the most aggressive forms of breast cancer, and disproportionately affects African American women. TNBC cells lack the common hormone receptors that many pre-existing cancer treatments target. Fortunately, metal-based complexes with thiosemicarbazone ligands have gained significant attention for their potential as anti-cancer agents. Cobalt(III) complex ([Co(phen)2(MeATSC)](NO3)3•1.5H2O•C2H5OH]) and Copper(II) complex ([Cu(acetylethTSC)Cl]Cl•0.25C2H5OH) specifically have properties of high toxicity, which can contribute to decreased cancer cell activity. The effects of these complexes are currently being investigated on cancerous and non-cancerous breast cell lines. The cytotoxic effect of the cobalt(lll) complex and the copper(ll) complex was analyzed …

A Fisher Indole Synthesis Approach To Phidianidine Analogues, Anna Tingler, Trinity Ghering, Samuel Ross
Undergraduate Research Competition
Naturally occurring products are molecules that are found in the natural world without the aid of humans. Aspirin and opium are famous examples of this classification of molecule. Another example of natural products that are less known are the phidianidines. Phidianidines A & B were isolated from a shell-less mollusk, Phidiana militaris. These molecules are comprised of a 1,2,4-oxadiazole ring, an indole and an aminoalkylguanadio group. These compounds have exhibited striking pharmacological behavior such as that of neutralizing reactive oxygen species and acting as an agonist for the μ-opioid receptor. In recent years, the synthesis of phidianidine analogues has replaced …

Mistranslating Trnas Alter The Heat Shock Activation By Hsf1, Rebecca Dib
Mistranslating Trnas Alter The Heat Shock Activation By Hsf1, Rebecca Dib
Undergraduate Student Research Internships Conference
Translation, or the production of protein from an mRNA blueprint, is among the most fundamental processes to life as we know it. tRNAs are essential to accurate translation, as they decode the codons of mRNA and recruit corresponding amino acids. Variant tRNAs with anticodon mutations can decrease translational fidelity by recruiting the incorrect amino acid, an aberrant process known as mistranslation. When proteins are produced with incorrect amino acid sequences, they may misfold. The heat shock response functions to alleviate cellular stress caused by misfolded proteins, either by refolding or targeting misfolded proteins for degradation. Hsf1 acts as a transcriptional …

Bomb Calorimetry: A New Method Of Cec Determination, Trace Washburn
Bomb Calorimetry: A New Method Of Cec Determination, Trace Washburn
Undergraduate Research Conference
A new method of determining the cation exchange capacity (CEC) of clay minerals was examined. This method involved exchanging the smectite clay with organic cations and using bomb calorimetry to measure the energy of combustion of the material. Because the clay is noncombustible, the energy is completely dependent on the amount of organic present, which is dependent on the CEC of the clay. Two organic cations, tetrapentylammonium and octadecyltrimethylammonium , with similar size but much different shape were used. For clays with lower CECs, using the more symmetric ion yielded better accuracy (4.24%), while for clays with higher CEC, using …
Efforts To Increase The Ketamine-Like Activity Of The Rapid-Acting Antidepressant Ro-25-6981 (Mi-4) By Increasing Ampa Potentiation, Nathan Heger
Annual Research Symposium
The small molecule ketamine has generated much interest due to its rapid antidepressant effects. Despite having a rapid onset, ketamine has poor bioavailability, short duration of action, toxicities with long-term use, and a high potential for abuse. The molecule MI-4 (RO 25-6981) has also been shown to have both a rapid and sustained antidepressant effect. Most of the research into the mechanism of the rapid onset of MI-4 and ketamine has focused on their interaction with the NMDA receptor in addition to some monoamine transporters. Some recent publications have shown a significant role of AMPA receptors in the ketamine antidepressant …
