Design and synthesis of polycyclic amine derivatives for sigma receptor activity
Strydom, Natasha (2013)New therapeutic strategies are needed for a diverse array of poorly understood neurological impairments. These include neurodegenerative disorders such as Parkinson’s disease and Alzheimer’s disease, and the psychiatric ... -
Design, Synthesis and Evaluation of Indole Derivatives as Multifunctional Agents against Alzheimer's disease.
Denya, Ireen (University of the Western Cape, 2017)Alzheimer's disease (AD) is an age related neurodegenerative disorder characterised by progressive memory loss and cognitive impairment. It is one of several neurodegenerative disorders occurring as a result of a process ... -
Hybrid molecules as inhibitors of the monoamine oxidases and caspase 3 for neurodegenerative disorders
Tavari, Mohsen (University of the Western Cape, 2016)Neurodegenerative diseases are multifactorial in nature, and taking the complex nature of these disorders into consideration, multi-target directed ligands may present as better options to treat these disorders than the ... -
Novel adamantane derivatives as multifunctional neuroprotective agents
Kadernani, Yakub Esmail Y.E. (University of the Western Cape, 2013)The pathology of neurodegenerative disorders involves multiple steps, and it is probably for this reason that targeting one particular step in a multi-step process has only yielded limited results. Nitric oxide (NO) is ... -
Novel aminoquinoline-polycyclic hybrid molecules as potential antimalarial agents
Fortuin, Elton E. (University of the Western Cape, 2014)Plasmodium falciparum malaria continues to be a worldwide health problem, especially in developing countries in Africa and is responsible for over a million fatalities per annum. Chloroquine (CQ) is low-cost, safe and was ... -
Synthesis and evaluation of novel coumarin-donepezil derivatives as dual acting monoamine oxidase B and cholinesterase in Alzheimer's disease
Foka, Germaine Boulenoue (University of the Western Cape, 2016)Alzheimer's disease is a progressive neurodegenerative disease characterised by low acetylcholine (ACh) levels in the hippocampus and cortex of the brain, causing symptoms like progressive memory loss, decline in language ...
