• Are fish oil omega-3 long-chain fatty acids and their derivatives peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor agonists? 

      Gani, Osman (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2008-03-20)
      Background Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors (PPARα, PPARγ, and PPARδ) are physiological sensors for glucose and lipid homeostasis. They are also the targets of synthetic drugs; such as fibrates as PPARα agonists which lower lipid level, and glitazones as PPARγ agonists which lower glucose level. As diabetes and metabolic diseases are often associated with high blood glucose and lipid ...
    • Biological Evaluations, NMR Analyses, Molecular Modeling Studies, and Overview of the Synthesis of the Marine Natural Product (−)-Mucosin 

      Nolsøe, Jens Mortansson Jelstrup; Underhaug, Jarl; Sørskår, Åshild Moi; Antonsen, Simen; Malterud, Karl Egil; Gani, Osman; Fan, Qiong; Hjorth, Marit; Sæther, Thomas; Hansen, Trond Vidar; H. Stenstrøm, Yngve (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2024-02-24)
      Natural products obtained from marine organisms continue to be a rich source of novel structural architecture and of importance in drug discovery, medicine, and health. However, the success of such endeavors depends on the exact structural elucidation and access to sufficient material, often by stereoselective total synthesis, of the isolated natural product of interest. (−)-Mucosin (1), a fatty ...
    • Data driven polypharmacological drug design for lung cancer: analyses for targeting ALK, MET, and EGFR 

      Narayanan, Dilip; Gani, Osman; Gruber, Franz; Engh, Richard Alan (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2017-07-04)
      Drug design of protein kinase inhibitors is now greatly enabled by thousands of publicly available X-ray structures, extensive ligand binding data, and optimized scaffolds coming off patent. The extensive data begin to enable design against a spectrum of targets (polypharmacology); however, the data also reveal heterogeneities of structure, subtleties of chemical interactions, and apparent inconsistencies ...
