Seasons greetings all. This is the December 2012 update from my side of the Todd lab. I have finished my honours project and submitted my thesis to obtain Hons I - which is highly pleasing - and I'm back for a period of time to assist the Todd group and their antimalarial project. Specifically, I hope to generate a variety of analogues of the hit compound within the aminothienopyrimidine series (Figure 1)

The team set about synthesising targets SA - SJ and ordered the commercial compounds chosen at the consultation in July. In late September, the commercial compounds, plus some of the synthetic targets (and analogues) were sent away for biological evaluation.

Having picked up this theme from a G+ post I have written a blog entry on aspects of getting the latest SAR data into public databases (and looking after it after its out)
