The central theme of our scholarly work over the past several decades has been synthesis and assessment of structural and stereochemical isomerism in synthetic NPS drugs.
In recent years we have expanded our research efforts in collaboration with pharmacology colleagues to include basic receptor pharmacology of the novel drugs we have synthesized, as well as investigation of their potential mechanisms of neurotoxicity.
Research:
- Design, synthesis and biochemical evaluation of enzyme inhibitors; synthesis and chemical reactivity of potential chemotherapeutic agents; synthesis of novel heterocycles as potential medicinal agents.
