Chemical Synthesis And Evaluation Of Azotochelin Analogs As Anticancer Agents And Their Ability To Reverse Anticancer Drug Resistance, Nishant Karadkhelkar Jan 2020

Chemical Synthesis And Evaluation Of Azotochelin Analogs As Anticancer Agents And Their Ability To Reverse Anticancer Drug Resistance, Nishant Karadkhelkar

Theses and Dissertations

Cancer has been plaguing the humanity for several decades. In the meanwhile, multi-drug resistance (MDR) is causing abatement of effective therapeutic drugs, necessitating discovery of new class of anticancer agents. Natural products have been proved to be a promising source of structurally new anticancer agents. A specific class of bacterial secondary metabolites, named siderophores have been explored as potential anticancer agents. Enterobactin is one of the most studied siderophores as a potential anticancer agent. Azotochelin is a structurally similar but structurally simpler siderophore compared to enterobactin. Our research project focused on the evaluation of the structure activity relationship assessment of …


Benchmarking Machine Learning Methods For Molecular Property Prediction, Govinda Bahadur Kc Jan 2020

Benchmarking Machine Learning Methods For Molecular Property Prediction, Govinda Bahadur Kc

Open Access Theses & Dissertations

Machine learning (ML) techniques have been widely applied in a variety of areas ranging from pattern recognition, natural language processing, and computer games to self-driving cars, clinical diagnostics, and molecular structure prediction easing day to day life of human beings. Drug discovery is an expensive, complex, and time taking process. Currently, the pharma industry is hoping to leverage machine learning methods in expediting the drug discovery process. Molecular property prediction is one of the most important tasks in drug discovery. While developing a new drug relies on a proper understanding of molecular properties, there has been great interest in the …
