Enhanced Etoposide Solubility and Anticancer Activity using Complexation and Nanotechnology
(2021)
drawbacks which hamper etoposide activity. The central hypothesis of this work is to enhance etoposide (VP-16) solubility, dissolution, and improve its antitumor activity using emerging formulations strategies such as complexation and nanotechnology. To test...
Cell wall metabolite levels as a function of the growth phase in Staphylococcus aureus and library screening for synergistic combinations of FDA approved drugs against methicillin resistant S. aureus
(2022)
Liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) based methods for quantifying cell wall biosynthesis intermediates. These include LC-MS/MS methods for quantifying cytoplasmic UDP-linked peptidoglycan biosynthesis intermediates. Retention...
Metabolomics and chemical library screening for antibacterial drug discovery
(2020)
roles in many biological systems and processes. Amino acids are polar analytes and are difficult to separate on traditional silica based stationary phases in reverse phase chromatography to allow accurate quantification in their natural form. In part I...
Library Screening and Focused Multiomics of Antibacterial Action on Vancomycin-Resistant Enterococci faecium
(2023)
Antimicrobial resistance is a major public health threat, and there is an urgent need for new strategies to address this issue. In a gram-positive bacteria, the peptidoglycan layer is thick as compared to gram negatives ...
Development of Closomer And MIBG based Nanoformulation: Application to HIV Prevention and Neuroblastoma Therapy
(2023)
This dissertation is divided into two parts. Part #1 focuses on the development and characterization of closomer based nanoformulation for the prevention of HIV/AIDS sexual transmission. Part #2 focuses on the development and characterization of a...
Smart hydrogel for enzyme responsive vaginal delivery of anti-HIV peptide therapeutics
(2021)
