- The discovery and synthesis of novel adenosine receptor (A2A) antagonists
-
In high throughput screening of our file compounds, a novel structure 1 was identified as a potent A2A receptor antagonist with no selectivity over the A1 adenosine receptor. The structure-activity relationship investigation using 1 as a template lead to identification of a novel class of compounds as potent and selective antagonists of A2A adenosine receptor. Compound 26 was identified to be the most potent A2A receptor antagonist (Ki = 0.8 nM) with 100-fold selectivity over the A1 adenosine receptor.

- Synthetic studies of novel ninhydrin analogs
-
Ninhydrin is an essential tool in the analysis of amino acids, peptides, and proteins, and the preferred reagent for the detection of latent fingerprints on porous surfaces. The goal of this investigation was to prepare ninhydrin analogs with enhanced chromogenic and fluorogenic properties. Target compounds included structures with extended conjugation and (or) with the presence of sulfur-containing moieties. We have devised general convergent routes for novel heterocyclic and aryl-substituted ninhydrin analogs for use as reagents for amino acid detection.
