  1. 1. Development of a PNA-drug conjugate for pretargeted delivery of cytotoxic drugs

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Theranostics

    Author : Astrid Haraldsson; [2023]
    Keywords : PNA; pretargeting; cancer therapy; cytotoxic payload;

    Abstract : One of the major challenges in cancer treatment is delivering high enough doses of active substance specifically to cancer cells without accumulation in healthy organs. Pretargeting has emerged as a potential solution, where the delivery of a cancer recognizing (primary) agent and a cancer killing (secondary) agent are separated. READ MORE

  3. 2. Greening peptide chemistry by using NBP as solvent for SPPS

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Centrum för analys och syntes

    Author : Andrea Ölander; [2022]
    Keywords : SPPS; Green chemistry; Peptide Synthesis; Organic chemistry; Organisk kemi; Chemistry;

    Abstract : The preferred method for synthesising therapeutic peptides today is by Solid-Phase Peptide Synthesis (SPPS). SPPS is a wasteful process, where the main component of the waste is hazardous solvents, i.e., N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF), N-methylpyrrolidone (NMP) or dichloromethane (DCM). READ MORE

  4. 3. Evaluation of the immunogenicity of SARS-CoV-2 B cell epitopes

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för farmaceutisk biovetenskap

    Author : Sofia Hogander; [2022]
    Keywords : SARS-CoV-2; peptide vaccine; B cell epitope; ELISA; solid phase peptide synthesis;

    Abstract : Background: The COVID-19 pandemic is caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus, which enter the host cells through interactions between the receptor-binding domain (RBD) on the S-protein and the ACE-2 receptor on the host cell. A novel type of vaccine strategy is peptide vaccines, with great potential as a faster and more selective approach to conventional vaccine development. READ MORE

  5. 4. Streamlining the manufacturing of biotherapeutics : SPPS vs. Recombinant protein production

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildning

    Author : Matilda Carlson; Alma Hansen; Tyra Levin; Moa Rick; Frida Tallqvist; Malin Tiefensee; [2021]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : In this paper we have researched two methods for peptide synthesis; solid phase peptide synthesis (SPPS) and recombinant protein production, hereafter called recombinant production. The goal was to create a decision support that can be of use when choosing a production method for a given peptide. READ MORE

  6. 5. Synthesis of bioactive compounds: Synthetic study of D-Lac-terminated peptidoglycan fragment structures

    University essay from KTH/Kemiteknik

    Author : Yu Saito; [2021]
    Keywords : organic synthesis; peptidoglycan; lactate; glycopeptide; solid-phase peptide synthesis; organisk syntes; peptidoglycan; laktat; glykopeptid; fastfas-peptidsyntes;

    Abstract : Peptidoglycan (PGN) är en bakteriecellväggskomponent och känd för att känna igen olika receptorer eller enzymer för att leda aktiveringsimmunsystemet. Den allmänna strukturen för PGN består av sockerkedjor inklusive N-acetylglutamin (GlcNAc), N-acetylmuraminsyra (MurNAc) och tvärbundna peptidkedjor. READ MORE
