Dr. Kenneth Laali, University of North Florida Presidential Professor of Chemistry, has recently been awarded a US patent for his research on the synthesis of novel curcumin analogs (curcuminoids) to fight cancer tumors.
The compounds that Laali has developed provide novel therapeutic opportunities for specific cancers and may also aid in the discovery of therapeutics for multiple diseases.
His patent on Novel Curcuminoid-Inspired Synthetic Compounds as Anti-tumor Agents discloses the synthesis and characterization of structurally diverse libraries of curcumin-inspired compounds (CURs), and reports on their anti-tumor activity against a host of cancer cell lines.
