Research Interests:

  • Design, synthesis, characterization and in vitro and in vivo kinetics of pro-prodrug systems to be used for the delivery for certain drugs that have poor water solubility or/and have low bioavailability using ab initio, DFT, semiempirical, molecular mechanics as well as molecular dynamics and conformational dynamics methods.
  • Design and synthesis of linkers to be used for masking bitter taste of drugs that contain a hydroxyl or amine groups (antimalarial, anti-hypertension, anti-bleeding, antibacterial and anticancer drugs) using DFT calculation methods.
  • Design and synthesis of bitter taste antagonists for inactivation of the bitter taste receptor 14.
  • Pharmaceuticals removal from wastewater using clay micelle complex, hollow fiber, spiral wounds, charcoal and other adsorbents.
  • Pharmaceuticals removal from wastewater using photodegradation methods such as light/TiO2.
  • Stability of Pharmaceuticals in wastewater and isolation and characterization of degradation products (metabolites).
