Metabolically activated heterocyclic N-oxide compounds for killing and visualizing hypoxic cancer cells
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2009)
Tirapazamine (TPZ) is currently undergoing a variety of phase I, II, and III clinical trials for the treatment of various human cancers. TPZ derives its medicinal activity by inducing DNA damage in poorly oxygenated tumor ...
Insights into atomic orbital polarization in polyatomic dissociation from DC slide velocity map imaging
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2019)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] "The field of chemical reaction dynamics is based upon understanding the details of elementary chemical reactions. It seeks to answer fundamental questions such as, what...
Studies of natural products that reveal novel strategies for efficient modification of DNA
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2006)
DNA is the central molecule in cells. The correct function of cells depends on the structure of DNA. DNA damaging natural products often show cytotoxic or mutagenic properties, which many times land them medicinal value ...
Biologically relevant chemistry of sulfur heterocycles : from redox regulation of PTP1B to the biological activity of s-deoxy leinamycin
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2008)
Protein tyrosine phosphatase 1B (PTP1B) is an important member of protein tyrosine phosphatase (PTPs) family that shares a conserved catalytic cysteine thiol residue. PTP1B acts as a negative regulator of insulin mediated ...
Design and construction of multicomponent spheroidal assemblies on the nano-scale via the self-assembly approach
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2006)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] Supramolecular chemists can be thought of as the architects of the nano-scale world. We are primary concerned with the design and construction of various nanostructures based...
High valent uranium dioxo and imido complexes : synthesis and structure
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2008)
Early actinide elements have attracted considerable attention in recent years due to the need for rigorous advancements in spent nuclear fuel recycling and remediation technologies, and for their emerging versatility in ...
