Funded Activity Summary

Synthesis of Novel Dual Acting, Selenium Containing Antioxidants. Ischemic heart disease and chronic inflammation afflict a large segment of the Australian population, especially the ageing. These states are associated with free-radicals and other reactive oxygen species and can be controlled to some extent by the application of adenosine therapy. This project will combine the activity of adenosine agonists and enhancers with selenium-containing antioxidants, used to quench reactive oxygen species, to provide a powerful new class of pharmaceutical products designed to enhance the quality of life of Australians afflicted by diseases propagated by free-radicals.
