Additional Information

  • My research niche focuses on organic chemistry (synthetic, reaction mechanism and structural activity) and biological evaluation (enzyme kinetics and molecular docking studies). The emphasis is on the synthesis and biological evaluation of organic compounds (nitrogen and phosphorus containing heterocyclic), characterized by spectroscopic methods (NMR, FT-IR, and mass) and X-ray crystallography for evaluation as potential anticancer and anti-Alzheimer agents.
