Dimethyl Sulfoxide as a Synthon in Organic Chemistry
- Ebenezer Jones-Mensah, Megha Karki, J. Magolan
- Chemistry
- 10 March 2016
Dimethyl sulfoxide is generally characterized as a solvent and oxidant rather than as a substrate, building block, or synthon in organic chemistry. However, an abundance of reports have recently… Expand
Total synthesis of (+)-angelmarin.
- J. Magolan, M. J. Coster
- Chemistry, Medicine
- The Journal of organic chemistry
- 21 May 2009
An efficient 8-step enantioselective total synthesis of (+)-angelmarin, starting from commercially available umbelliferone, has been achieved. Key reactions include olefin cross-metathesis and a Shi… Expand
Targeting the resistance of pancreatic cancer cells to nutrient deprivation: anti-austerity compounds.
- J. Magolan, M. J. Coster
- Medicine
- Current drug delivery
- 30 November 2010
The emerging "anti-austerity" anti-cancer therapeutic strategy targets the ability of certain cancer cell lines, particularly pancreatic cancer, to survive nutrient deprivation. While biochemical… Expand
Synthesis and Evaluation of Anticancer Natural Product Analogues Based on Angelmarin: Targeting the Tolerance towards Nutrient Deprivation
- J. Magolan, Nathan B P Adams, H. Onozuka, N. Hungerford, H. Esumi, M. J. Coster
- Chemistry, Medicine
- ChemMedChem
- 1 May 2012
Inspired by nature: Angelmarin is an anticancer natural product with potent antiausterity activity, that is, selective cytotoxicity towards nutrient-deprived, resistant cancer cells. Through… Expand
Siloxane-terminated phenylpyrimidine liquid crystal hosts
- L. Li, C. Jones, J. Magolan, R. Lemieux
- Chemistry
- 29 May 2007
We report the synthesis and characterization of trisiloxane-terminated liquid crystals with 2-phenylpyrimidine cores that form partially bilayered SmA and SmC phases. Variable temperature… Expand
Bromination of olefins with HBr and DMSO.
- Megha Karki, J. Magolan
- Chemistry, Medicine
- The Journal of organic chemistry
- 12 March 2015
A simple and inexpensive methodology is reported for the conversion of alkenes to 1,2-dibromo alkanes via oxidative bromination using HBr paired with dimethyl sulfoxide, which serves as the oxidant… Expand
Cerium-free Luche reduction directed by rehydrated alumina
- Ebenezer Jones-Mensah, Leslie A Nickerson, J. L. Deobald, Hailey J Knox, A. Ertel, J. Magolan
- Chemistry
- 30 June 2016
Abstract A 1,2-regioselective reduction of α,β-unsaturated ketones to their corresponding allylic alcohols is accomplished with NaBH4 in the presence of acidic activated alumina rehydrated to the… Expand

- Anna J Kochanowska-Karamyan, H. C. Araujo, +6 authors M. Hamann
- Chemistry, Medicine
- Journal of natural products
- 31 March 2020
The natural product veranamine was isolated from the marine sponge Verongula rigida. It contains a unique heterocyclic scaffold and demonstrates in vivo antidepressant activity and selective affinity… Expand
A macrophage-based screen identifies antibacterial compounds selective for intracellular Salmonella Typhimurium
- Michael J Ellis, C. N. Tsai, +8 authors E. Brown
- Biology, Chemistry
- 2 August 2018
Salmonella Typhimurium (S. Tm) evades the innate immune response by residing within host phagocytes. To identify inhibitors of intracellular S. Tm growth, we performed parallel chemical screens… Expand
