Chemistry Pharmacy Sciences Organic Chemistry Analytical Chemistry Methuosis is a novel type of nonapoptic cell death in which vacuoles form and swell until the cell membrane bursts. Several indole-based chalcones have been found to induce methuosis. These indole-based chalcones contain a,ß-unsaturated ketones which may undergo Michael addition. However, the heterocycles on either side of the a,ß-unsaturated ketone have a less studied effect on Michael addition. Also, the metabolites of methuosis-inducing chalcones are reduced forms of the a,ß-unsaturated ketone. These metabolites are synthesized as a part of this thesis. Synthesis of analogues on the pyridinyl ring, primarily extending the nitrogen out of the ring and modifying the electronics is reported herein. 2015 English text University of Toledo / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=toledo1449828250 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=toledo1449828250 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: all rights reserved.
