Research interests

 

 

 

The research interests encompass a range of protein targets of pharmaceutical relevance, including

proteases and G-protein coupled receptors (GPCRs). One of the primary themes is to identify novel

and selective low molecular weight ligands for these targets. New strategies are developed for both the

design and for the synthesis of small, drug-like molecules. Lead compounds are optimized using

computer-aided techniques and are preferentially synthesized using high-speed chemistry and new

efficient transition metal-catalyzed reactions developed in our laboratory. Considerable efforts have in

particular been devoted to the development of new robust and useful palladium-catalyzed C-C bond

forming reactions. Major indications that are addressed are infections caused by HIV and HCV

(Hepatitis C Virus) as well as the infectious disease Malaria. In addition, basic research is conducted

to identify novel ligands that interfere with proteins in the renin/angiotensin system. The first drug-like

selective and potent angiotensin II, type II receptor agonist with a high oral bioavailability was

recently discovered.
