Novel syntheses of cis and trans isomers of combretastatin A-4 (2001)
Journal Article
Gaukroger, K., Hadfield, J., Hepworth, L., Lawrence, N., & McGown, A. (2001). Novel syntheses of cis and trans isomers of combretastatin A-4. Journal of Organic Chemistry, 66(24), 8135-8138. https://doi.org/10.1021/jo015959z

A high-yielding, two-step stereoselective synthesis of the anticancer drug (Z)-combretastatin A-4 (1) has been devised. The method uses the Perkin condensation of 3,4,5-trimethoxyphenylacetic acid and 3-hydroxy-4-methoxybenzaldehyde followed by decar...

Linked parallel synthesis and MTT bioassay screening of substituted chalcones (2001)
Journal Article
Lawrence, N., Rennison, D., McGown, A., Ducki, S., Gul, L., Hadfield, J., & Khan, N. (2001). Linked parallel synthesis and MTT bioassay screening of substituted chalcones. Journal of Combinatorial Chemistry, 3(5), 421-426. https://doi.org/10.1021/cc000075z

A 644-membered library of chalcones was prepared by parallel synthesis using the Claisen-Schmidt base-catalyzed aldol condensation of substituted acetophenones and benzaldehydes. The cytotoxicity of these chalcones was conveniently determined upon th... Read More about Linked parallel synthesis and MTT bioassay screening of substituted chalcones.
