Catalytic Stereoselective Synthesis of Elusive Atropisomers for Drug Discovery
Granting Departments: |
Department of Organic Chemistry
Institute of Organic Chemistry and Biochemistry of the CAS, v. v. i. |
Study Programme/Specialization: | Chemistry ( in English language ) |
Supervisor: | Dr. Paulo Paioti |
Annotation
Atropisomers are conformational isomers arising from restricted rotation around a single bond. Our main goal is inducing conformational restriction to create pharmaceutical leads by developing catalytic stereoselective synthesis toward difficult-to-access drug-like atropisomers. Atropisomers are chiral, giving rise to two or more isomers that have different pharmacological properties. These attributes relate to a poorly understood fundamental question of how conformational changes, from achiral and flexible to chiral and more rigid impact a molecule’s ability to interact with biological receptors. But to study such concepts, one must first of all create and then synthesize this challenging class of compounds. The main challenge is that atropisomers are intrinsically sterically hindered and potentially configurationally unstable. Accordingly, we will develop new catalytic synthesis methods and strategies, hoping to deliver more efficient, practical and (atropo)selective methods.

Institute of Organic Chemistry and Biochemistry of the CAS, v. v. i. |
Study Programme/Specialization: | Chemistry ( in English language ) |

Annotation
The multiphotochromic systems are made by interconnection of two or more photoswitches (molecules, whose geometry can be reversibly switched using light). Individual parts (photoswitches and unidirectional molecular motors) of these molecules will be selectively activated/switched by action of a light of defined wavelength. The goal of this Ph.D. project is design, synthesis and study of these unique molecules and their possible utilization for construction of first prototypes of molecular machines of this kind. Special attention will be dedicated to various combinations of individual photoswithes as well as the type of their mutual interconnection (orthogonal vs. non-orthogonal).
