Development of methods for the synthesis of large combinatorial libraries of macrocyclic compounds

Mischa Schüttel

Macrocycles have raised much interest in the pharmaceutical industry due to their ability to bind challenging targets while often still being able to cross membranes to reach intracellular proteins. However, the development of macrocyclic ligands to new di ...

Generating macrocyclic inhibitors of protein-protein interactions

Gontran Sangouard

Protein-protein interactions (PPIs) play important roles in many diseases and their modulation is an attractive strategy for developing new therapeutics. However, the relatively large and often flat binding surfaces of PPIs makes the development of inhibit ...

Macrocyclization of omega-Isocyanoaldehydes and Towards the Total Synthesis of Jamaicensamide A

Teerawat Songsichan

In the first chapter of this thesis, the macrocyclization of a new type of bifunctional substrates, omega-isocyanoaldehyde derivatives, is described. Ten different omega-isocyanoaldehydes in terms of different ring sizes and functional groups were prepared ...

Macrocycle synthesis strategy based on step-wise “adding and reacting” three components enables screening of large combinatorial libraries

Christian Heinis, Gerardo Turcatti, Julien Bortoli Chapalay, Alessandro Angelini, Alessandro Zorzi, Jonathan Patrice Vesin, Ganesh Kumar Mothukuri, Sangram Shivdas Kale, Carl Leonard Stenbratt

Macrocycles provide an attractive modality for drug development, but generating ligands for new targets is hampered by the limited availability of large macrocycle libraries. We have established a solution-phase macrocycle synthesis strategy in which three ...

Phthalocyanines for dye-sensitized solar cells

Mohammad Khaja Nazeeruddin

Phthalocyanines (Pcs) are robust and intensely colored macrocycles (blue pigments) with high chemical, thermal and light stability, properties that are of paramount importance for realistic photovoltaic applications. In particular, Pcs have played a very i ...

Thiol-to-amine cyclization reaction enables screening of large libraries of macrocyclic compounds and the generation of sub-kilodalton ligands

Gerardo Turcatti, Julien Bortoli Chapalay, Xudong Kong, Van Manh Pham, Patrick Andreas Gonschorek, Sangram Shivdas Kale, Milan Bergeron-Brlek, João Miguel Franco Machado

Macrocyclic compounds are an attractive modality for drug development, but the limited availability of large, structurally diverse macrocyclic libraries hampers the discovery of leads. Here, we describe the discovery of efficient macrocyclization reactions ...
