Journal Article
Fisher, N., Hilton-Bolt, T., G Edwards, M., J Haxton, K., McKenzie, M., Allin, S. M., & Richardson, A. (2014). Dendrimer Conjugate of [4-(Tetradecanoylamino)benzyl]phosphonic Acid (S32826) as an Autotaxin Inhibitor. ACS medicinal chemistry letters, 5(1), 34-39. https://doi.org/10.1021/ml4003106

Autotaxin is an extracellular phospholipase D that catalyzes the hydrolysis of lysophosphatidyl choline (LPC) to bioactive lipid lysophosphatidic acid (LPA). LPA has been implicated in many pathological processes relevant to cancer, including cell mi...

Chairs, bells and students – a novel method to simulate and teach molecular interactions in pharmacology (2013)
Journal Article
Maddock, K., & Richardson, A. (2013). Chairs, bells and students – a novel method to simulate and teach molecular interactions in pharmacology. Pharmacy Education, 36 - 39 (4)

Background: Pharmacy education requires an understanding of the fundamental principles of molecular pharmacology. Among these, abstract concepts such as affinity, association and dissociation rates and partial agonism may be difficult to demonstrate...

Use of a Three-Dimensional Virtual Environment to Teach Drug-Receptor Interactions (2013)
Journal Article
Richardson, A., Bracegirdle, L., McLachlan, S. I., & Chapman, S. R. (2013). Use of a Three-Dimensional Virtual Environment to Teach Drug-Receptor Interactions. American journal of pharmaceutical education, 77(1), 11. https://doi.org/10.5688/ajpe77111

Objective. To determine whether using 3-dimensional (3D) technology to teach pharmacy students about the molecular basis of the interactions between drugs and their targets is more effective than traditional lecture using 2-dimensional (2D) graphics....

Preclinical evaluation of statins as a treatment for ovarian cancer (2013)
Journal Article
Robinson, E., Nandi, M., Wilkinson, L. L., Arrowsmith, D. M., Curtis, A. D., & Richardson, A. (2013). Preclinical evaluation of statins as a treatment for ovarian cancer. Gynecologic Oncology, 129(2), 417-424. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ygyno.2013.02.003

Objective To evaluate the potential for statins to treat ovarian cancer. Methods The sensitivity of 7 ovarian cancer cell lines to either statins or statins combined with either carboplatin or paclitaxel was assessed using monolayer cultures. Se...
