Worked to synthesize compounds that could potentially have medicinal chemistry applications.
Antiviral drugs resemble certain chemical structures in human cells in order to attack viruses without being rejected by the body. I focused on synthesizing 1,2,3-triazole-4-carboxamides as purine nucleobase analogues and analyzed the samples with NMR spectroscopy in preparation for antiviral or anticancer testing.
