New Excursions Into the Synthesis and Medicinal Chemistry of the Disulfide Bond
摘要:
The presentation discusses two themes of current interest in my research group in conjunction with a garlic mimics program. The first involves a new one-pot methodology for preparing unsymmetrical disulfides in high yield using 1-chlorobenzotriazole (BtCl) as oxidant, which can be applied to a range of functional types. The second part of the lecture will discuss the synthesis of derivatives of the garlic-derived natural product ajoene, in conjunction with an anti-cancer screening program. The synthesis has been used to prepare a fluorescently tagged derivative of the natural product that has been used to investigate localization and mode of action within the cancer cell using confocal laser scanning microscopy.
