Atom-economic and cost-effective synthesis of Sunitinib, Nintedanib, Olaparib
Common people having median income cannot afford the treatment arising from using block buster anticancer drugs. The cost effective non-infringing synthetic routes are targeted for (Sunitinib, Nintedanib and Olaparib) since they are having very high selling price with big sale but possess low number of Drug Master File (DMF) and suppliers in India. Moreover, can we find out an alternative cost effective and non-infringing synthetic routes for Centchroman for its reposition as anticancer agents? Discovered Cost Effective New Process Routes of Olaparib and Nintedanib. (Open for Licensing)
Repurposing of Selected Ongoing Clinical Trial Drugs but nonavailable in India as COVID-19 Therapeutics
In absence of suitable therapeutics for COVID-19, we are working to reposition few known off-patent molecules that are not available in India as possible treatment for SARS-CoV2 in collaboration with company, Ahmedabad through innovation of novel synthetic routes and filing patents on them. Research Work has been transferred to Reliance Rasayan Private Limited, Ahmedabad
Inhibitors targeting NAD+ binding sites by occupying nicotinamide pocket of Poly ADP Ribose polymerase (PARP)
Olaparib and Rucaparib analogs having mTOR inhibitory activities
Pyridine based scaffolds as dual acting Bcl2 and HDAC for autophagy
HDAC inhibitors induced apoptosis and down regulated the expression and over expression of the B-cell lymphomas 2 (Bcl2). Goal is to find pyridine-based scaffolds as double acting role on Bcl2 and HDAC to induce autophagy inside the cancerous cell.
Asymmetric Synthesis of Trisubstituted Methanes (TRSMs) as new bioactives
Our lead TRSM CDRI-830 showed 15-20 fold reduction in the CFU of infected mouse lungs, which was comparable with the efficacy of ethambutol and pyrazinamide. One of the enantiomer S-TRSM (E2) has shown significantly higher MIC and MBC (in vitro as well as ex vivo) than R-TRSM (E1). The goal is to find out new asymmetric cost effective synthesis of individual enantiomers of TRSM for further bioevaluation

Q203-Bedaquiline Hybrids as energy metabolism inhibitors for M Tb
Bedaquiline inhibits M TB ATP synthesis in mycobacteria. Q203 is also acting against MDR and XDR strains of M. tuberculosis. Our target is to synthesize hybrid molecules of bedaquiline and Q203 for potent Anti-Tubercular activity with acceptable side effects.
