Sustainable Syntheses of (-)-Jerantinines A & e and Structural Characterisation of the Jerantinine-Tubulin Complex at the Colchicine Binding Site. Scientific Reports, 8(1), Article 10617. https://doi.org/10.1038/s41598-018-28880-2

The jerantinine family of Aspidosperma indole alkaloids from Tabernaemontana corymbosa are potent microtubule-targeting agents with broad spectrum anticancer activity. The natural supply of these precious metabolites has been significantly disrupted...

Structural variations in hyperbranched polymers prepared via thermal polycondensation of lysine and histidine and their effects on DNA delivery (2018)
Journal Article
Alazzo, A., Lovato, T., Collins, H. M., Taresco, V., Stolnik, S., Soliman, M. E., Spriggs, K., & Alexander, C. (2018). Structural variations in hyperbranched polymers prepared via thermal polycondensation of lysine and histidine and their effects on DNA delivery. Journal of Interdisciplinary Nanomedicine, 3(2), https://doi.org/10.1002/jin2.36

The successful clinical translation of non-viral gene delivery systems has yet to be achieved due to the biological and technical obstacles to preparing a safe, potent and cost-effective vector. Hyper-branched polymers have emerged as promising candi...
