The rational design and synthesis of novel HIV non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors
(Stellenbosch : Stellenbosch University, 2013-12)
ENGLISH ABSTRACT: With a cure for HIV and AIDS still absent, non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NNRTIs) play a major role in the current antiretroviral treatments used, which have shown to improve and prolong ...
Applications of inherently chiral calix[4]arenes
(Stellenbosch : Stellenbosch University, 2013-03)
ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Calixarenes are large cyclic molecules that have a distinctive bowl-shaped geometry. The nonplanar nature of these molecules means that, by selectively functionalizing the calixarene on one side of the ...
A study of isotope-effects in the high-resolution 195Pt NMR spectra of octahedral complexes of the type [PtCl6-n(OH)n]2-, n = 0-6, in water
(Stellenbosch : Stellenbosch University, 2013-03)
ENGLISH ABSTRACT: The high-resolution 195Pt NMR signals (128.8 MHz) of most of the octahedral mixed-ligand Pt(IV) complexes in the series [PtCl6-n(OH)n]2-, n = 0-6, have been recorded in aqueous solutions at 293 K. These ...
Preparation, characterization and applications of macrocycle-dendrimer conjugates
(Stellenbosch : Stellenbosch University, 2013-12)
ENGLISH ABSTRACT: In this thesis we describe various attempts at incorporating macrocycles into
dendritic architectures to form macrocycle-dendrimer conjugates with the aim of
preparing materials that would exhibit ...
