Bard Summer Research Institute Presents
Natural and Synthetic β-Carbolines as Chemical Probes for Biological Systems
Thursday, July 11, 2019
Reem-Kayden Center Laszlo Z. Bito '60 Auditorium
3:30 pm – 4:30 pm EDT/GMT-4
3:30 pm – 4:30 pm EDT/GMT-4
Seann P. Mulcahy
Providence College
Research in the Mulcahy group at Providence College spans synthetic organic chemistry and chemical biology. This seminar will describe the group’s efforts to synthesize and elucidate the mechanism of action of the natural product eudistomin U, a naturally-occurring β-carboline metabolite from a marine tunicate. Further work will highlight the synthesis of a library of unnatural 1-aryl-β-carbolines and the structure-function relationships that result when evaluated against protein receptors in the brain.Providence College
