Between Dec 19, 2024 and Jan 2, 2025, datasets can be submitted to DRUM but will not be processed until after the break. Staff will not be available to answer email during this period, and will not be able to provide DOIs until after Jan 2. If you are in need of a DOI during this period, consider Dryad or OpenICPSR. Submission responses to the UDC may also be delayed during this time.

    Development of light- activatable farnesyltransferase inhibitor
    (Kadiro Nurie, 2015-04-30) Nurie, Kadiro
    One of the main efforts in the area of drug delivery is to release controlled amount of drug in specific location inside the body where the drug is supposed to affect certain target receptors or cells. The goal of this research project was to synthesize a photo-caged transferase inhibitor (FTI), which is a potential cancer drug. To accomplish this project, nitrodibenzofuran was synthesized as a PPG in order to mask the FTI via attachment to the thiol functionally of the drug. Before working with actual inhibitor, NBDF was synthesized and used for caging cysteamine as a model thiol containing molecule. The goal is to study the photolysis of NDBF-cysteamine via UV and IR irradiation.
