Research Interests
Combinatorial and Bioorganic Chemistry
Combinatorial chemistry is a powerful technology allowing simultaneous
preparation of diverse, novel and biologically active molecules
for drug discovery and development. By utilising combinatorial approaches,
we are interested in synthesizing and screening libraries of compounds
which exhibit diverse biological activities. We are particularly
interested in exploiting the technology to (i) search for compounds
with antibacterial, antiviral and antimicrobial properties; and
(ii) develop inhibitors to human multi-resistance proteins.
Additionally we are also interested in (i) investigating the use
of new linkers which are both cost-effective and chemically useful
for solid-phase combinatorial synthesis. We are presently examining
the use of sodium benzenesulfinate resin as a solid-support for
combinatorial synthesis; and (ii) developing soluble polymers for
liquid-phase combinatorial synthesis.
