Dynamic interactive nanosystems and nanoreservoirs Phillip Hayes
Presentationaims • My background • Academic & personal • Previouschemistryprojectwork (Quick overview) • Outlineaims and research directions for dynano • Initial lines of enquiry • Guanidiniumbased phosphate recognition platforms. • G Quadruplex ligands and support structures • Possible applications / direction of work • Generateideas and research direction
Previouswork Leftschool – worked in insurance Cricket in Australia Undergraduatestudiesat Manchester MetropolitanUniversity
Halichlorine • Undergraduate project – organic synthesis • Marine sponge alkaloid • Harvested in minute quantities • Desirable target for synthesis
Biological significance Inflammatory response VCAM-1 Metastatic processes Atherosclerosis Hepatitis C
Syntheticaims Library of derviative compounds Retainbiologicalactivity Ease of synthesis
Dynamic interactive nanosystems and nanoreservoirs Objectives • Synthesiselibraries of compounds that have potential DNA / G Quadruplex bindingcapabilities • Developfunctionalnanomaterials capable of DNA recognition properties, usingConstitutionalDynamicChemistry. • Developnanoreservoirsystems capable of smallmoleculebinding for QCM signal amplification
DNA / G Quadruplex recognition • Shape dependentupon how G quartets stack. • Loop structure varies – parallel or anti-parallel looping
G Quadruplex Ligands • Ligands bindstrongly to stabilise the G Quadruplex structure • Show preferentialaffinity for certain quadruplex loop structures • Createlibraries of moleculescontainingfunctionalitiessimilar to moleculesshown. • Ligand withmost stable affinity – express itself.
