We present the synthesis of a novel conducting polymer (CP) incorporating both pyrrole and thiophene units in its monomer, which is also substituted with an initiator for grafting of sidechains by atom-transfer radical polymerisation (ATRP). The prec... Read More about A new precursor for conducting polymer-based brush interfaces with electroactivity in aqueous solution.

A pyrazolo-pyrimidinone based series of growth hormone secretagogue receptor type 1a (GHS-R1a) antagonists and inverse agonists were identified using a scaffold hop from known quinazolinone GHS-R1a modulators. Lipophilicity was reduced to decrease hE... Read More about Identification of pyrazolo-pyrimidinones as GHS-R1a antagonists and inverse agonists for the treatment of obesity.

Delivery of short interfering ribonucleic acid-complexed magnetic nanoparticles in an oscillating field occurs via caveolae-mediated endocytosis (2012)

Oxidative rearrangement of tertiary propargylic alcohols (2012)
Journal Article
Rodríguez, A., & Moran, W. J. (2013). Oxidative rearrangement of tertiary propargylic alcohols. SYNLETT, 24(1), 102-104. https://doi.org/10.1055/s-0032-1317711

An oxidative rearrangement of tertiary alcohols mediated by m-CPBA is described that generates tetrasubstituted alkenes with a carboxylic acid substituent. The mechanism of the reaction is proposed to proceed through epoxidation of the alkyne to form... Read More about Oxidative rearrangement of tertiary propargylic alcohols.

Arcuate Nucleus Homeostatic Systems are Not Altered Immediately Prior to the Scheduled Consumption of Large, Binge-Type Meals of Palatable Solid or Liquid Diet in Rats and Mice (2012)
Journal Article
Bake, T., Duncan, J. S., Morgan, D. G. A., & Mercer, J. G. (2013). Arcuate Nucleus Homeostatic Systems are Not Altered Immediately Prior to the Scheduled Consumption of Large, Binge-Type Meals of Palatable Solid or Liquid Diet in Rats and Mice. Journal of Neuroendocrinology, 25(4), 357-371. https://doi.org/10.1111/jne.12008

Meal feeding is a critical issue in the over-consumption of calories leading to human obesity. To investigate the mechanisms involved in the regulation of meal feeding in rodents, we studied a scheduled feeding regime that induces substantial food in...

BACKGROUND: Non-adherence to prescribed medication is a pervasive problem that can incur serious effects on patients' health outcomes and well-being, and the availability of resources in healthcare systems. This study aimed to develop practical conse... Read More about Developing consensus-based policy solutions for medicines adherence for Europe: a Delphi study.

DNA adduct formation of mitomycin C. A test case for DFT calculations on model systems (2012)
Journal Article
