The Investigation of Configurationally Stable Longitudinally Twisted Acenes and the Development of a Silorane-Based Biomaterial for Use as an Antimicrobial Delivery Device
(2019)
Longitudinally twisted acenes (LTAs) adopt a helical twist in order to alleviate steric congestion caused by bulky substituents along the acene backbone and are inherently chiral. As is observed in helicenes, this helical ...
Implementation of Solution and Solid Sate Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) Spectroscopic Techniques for Quantitative and Qualitative Analysis of Molecular Species
(University of Missouri -- Kansas City, 2019)
In this dissertation, spectroscopy has been used to solve a variety of problems in different
domains of science. Therefore, each chapter consists of different examples that have been
addressed using different concepts ...
Part I: Synthesis of functionalized bile acids towards the construction of steroidal macrocycles. Part II: Evaluation and expansion of a modular card game for teaching organic chemistry
(2019)
In Part I, the synthesis of chenodeoxychoic acid (CDCA) derivatives towards the construction of unique chemical architectures are reported. Building on previously described methods, CDCA based macrocycles with inner cavities have been synthesized...
Synthesis, Characterization and In-vivo Testing of Photoactivatable Insulin Depots for Continuously Variable and Minimally Invasive Insulin Delivery
(University of Missouri -- Kansas City, 2019)
Proteins are macromolecules involved in a diverse array of functions. Mutations or
abnormal levels of proteins are indicated in several diseases. Despite showing early
promise, the translation of protein therapeutics ...
Novel Folic Acid Targeted Nanomicelles For Delivery Of Hydrophobic Drugs To The Back Of The Eye
(University of Missouri -- Kansas City, 2019)
Overall aim of this research project is to develop folic acid targeted nanomicelles
loaded with insoluble hydrophobic drugs for delivery to posterior segment of the eye.
Retinoblastoma and uveitis are diseases that ...
