1. Exploring a unique pocket in Galectin-8N by the synthesis of D-galactoside-based benzimidazole inhibitors
Master-uppsats, Lunds universitet/Centrum för analys och syntesSammanfattning : Galectins are a family of glycan-binding proteins where galectin-8 is a part of the subgroup known as tandem-repeat type galectins. Galectin-8 is composed of two homologous CRDs, one N- and one C-terminal CRD. As it stands now, galectin-8N has been found to bind to a larger number of glycans than galectin-8C. LÄS MER
2. Design, synthesis, and evaluation of 1-phenylethanol and C2 threitol derivatives as non-pyranose galactose-mimicking inhibitors of Galectin-3
Master-uppsats, Lunds universitet/Centrum för analys och syntesSammanfattning : Galectins are cytosolic protein family involved in several biological functions such as cell differentiation, cell migration and apoptosis amongst many others. Their presence is also substantial in diseases including acute inflammation, fibrosis, allergies, and cancer. LÄS MER
3. Design och syntes av potentiella inhibitorer för galektin-1
Kandidat-uppsats, Lunds universitet/Kemiska institutionenSammanfattning : Galectin-1 is a member of the carbohydrate-binding protein family galectins. Galectins are involved in the immune system. However, in cancer growth, galectin-1 is overproduced to not make the immune system respond. Therefore, inhibitors of the protein were synthesized to make the immune system approach the cancer and respond. LÄS MER
4. The Effect of Using DMSO as a Cosolvent for Ligand Binding Studies
Master-uppsats, Lunds universitet/Biofysikalisk kemiSammanfattning : DMSO sees common application as a solvent for studies of synthetic molecules in biological systems, in fields such as drug design. Despite this, the possibility and nature of solvent interactions with both synthetic ligand and their target macromolecules is widely unexamined. LÄS MER
5. Investigation of α-thioaryl galactopyranosides to improve affinity towards Galectin-9N
Kandidat-uppsats, Lunds universitet/Kemiska institutionenSammanfattning : Galectins are a family of carbohydrate recognition proteins involved in modulation of cell signaling and cell adhesion. galectin-9 especially is involved in regulation of the immune response. In this work, galectin-9N inhibitors have been designed, synthesized and evaluated. LÄS MER
