Abstract Image

Palladium-catalyzed acetoxylation of the primary γ-C(sp3)–H bonds in the amino acids Val, Thr, and Ile was achieved using a newly discovered 5-methylisoxazole-3-carboxamide directing group. The γ-acetoxylated α-amino acid derivatives could be easily converted to γ-mercapto amino acids, which are useful for native chemical ligation (NCL). The first application of NCL at isoleucine in the semisynthesis of a Xenopus histone H3 protein was also demonstrated.

Dr. Kalyan Kumar Pasunooti pursued his PhD degree from Nanyang Technological University (NTU) (www.ntu.edu.sg), Singapore (2007 – 2011) in the field of Medicinal, Peptide & Protein chemistry. His graduate research work is focused on “Synthesis of bioactive amino acid building blocks and their applications towards the peptides and glycopeptides.” His have total 16 years of academic and industry experience with major multinationals companies & academic institutions and have worked with many collaborative professors around the globe. He authored with more than 28 international peer-reviewed high impact publications such as PNAS, Wily (Angew Chemie), RSC (Chem Comm and Org Biomol Chem), most of American Chemical Society journals (Journal of American Chemical Society, Org. Lett., ACS Chem Bio, J Comb Chem and Bioconugate Chem) and Elsevier (Tetrahedron Letters) journals which are featured many times in Chem. Eng. News and other journals. He holds American patent while work with Johns Hopkins-School of Medicine, USA and this molecule in phase II clinical trials for treating cancer.

Prior to his graduate studies, he spent 5 years as a research scientist in reputable research organizations namely GVK Bio, India (www.gvkbio.com) (2006-2007) and Dr. Reddy’s Laboratories Ltd (www.drreddys.com) (2003-2006) in India. After his PhD graduation, he worked for world leading research institutes such as Johns Hopkins-School of Medicine, USA (www.hopkinsmedicne.org) (2012-2013), Nanyang Technological University-NTU, Singapore) (www.ntu.edu.sg) (2013 – 2017) and Singapore MIT Alliance for research & Technology-SMART (www.smart.mit.edu) (2017–2018). His research interests focused on development of next generation biologically relevant peptide & protein therapeutics using their newly discovered methodologies for biomedical applications.

He has excellent skills in designing synthesis, purification and characterization of complex peptide and small molecules for medicinal chemistry applications. He gained extensive experience in Medicinal, Carbohydrate, Peptide & Protein and nucleotide & nucleoside Chemistry and familiar with modern methods and experienced in designing & executing synthesis for various bioactive peptide and small molecule inhibitors. He well versed in synthesis and characterization of complex organic molecules and with the analytical data interpretation.
