ACADEMIC & RESEARCH PROJECTS

M.Tech Project: ‘Lipase-Mediated Kinetic Resolution of Racemic Alcohol intermediates to Enantiomerically Pure Intermediates’

(Guide: Prof. U. C. Banerjee, Dept.of Pharmaceutical Technology Biotechnology, NIPER, Mohali.) (June 2010 onwards)

Synthesized Racemic alcohol intermediates and acetyl products of drugs Arimoclomol(in treatment of ALS) and Enciprazine(non-benzodiazepine anxiolytic) by chemical synthesis

Characterized these products using H-NMR, C-NMR, FTIR, MS, UV-Visible spectroscopy and purified using Flash chromatography and extraction methods

Method developed using HPLC

Micro-organism screened for lipase activity from different soil samples

Kinetic resolution done by esterification reaction with screened lipase and results analysed by HPLC

B.Pharm. Project: ‘Introduction and treatment of Alzheimer’s Disease’ (2007-2008)

(Guide: Mrs. V.L. Kawale, Pharmacology Dept., NDMVPS College of Pharmacy, Nashik)

Reviewed different causes and treatments of Alzheimer’s disease

Mainly focused on herbal treatment of Alzheimer’s disease
