Synthesis of highly functionalised calix[4]resorcinarenes and their application as drug solubilising agents (2020)
Thesis
Abdulrahman, M. F. A. (2020). Synthesis of highly functionalised calix[4]resorcinarenes and their application as drug solubilising agents. (Thesis). Keele University

The rate-limiting step for oral absorption of hydrophobic drugs and solubility is the drug dissolution rate in the GI fluids. Several novel and traditional methods have been used to improve the solubility rates of poorly water soluble drugs. The prof...

Development of water-soluble tetravalent glycoclusters based around a calix[4]resorcinarene core (2020)
Thesis
Jihad, T. W. J. (2020). Development of water-soluble tetravalent glycoclusters based around a calix[4]resorcinarene core. (Thesis). Keele University

Calix[4]resorcinarenes functionalised with glycosidic ligands on their lower rim have received little interest compared to analogues bearing carbohydrates on the upper rim. In this study, series of novel macrocyclic glycoclusters bearing mono- or dis... Read More about Development of water-soluble tetravalent glycoclusters based around a calix[4]resorcinarene core.

Development of a novel doxorubicin delivery system for pancreatic cancer (2020)
Thesis
Al-Ameri, J. J. M. (2020). Development of a novel doxorubicin delivery system for pancreatic cancer. (Thesis). Keele University

Pancreatic cancer is considered as the 4th most aggressive cancer in the Western world. There is a direct link between pancreatic cancer diagnosis and patient age with high occurrence of the disease happening in the 65-75-year age group. The majori...
