Trustees of Indiana University, doing business as Indiana University, was awarded a $575,000 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Chemistry under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049). The grant funds research on the development, evaluation, and refinement of metalloenediyne complex cyclization kinetics for biological applications led by Professor Jeffrey Zaleski of Indiana University's Department of Chemistry. Specifically, the research aims to develop structurally and dynamically tunable molecules for inhibition of undesirable cell growth processes using a heat-induced reaction strategy. The project explores ligand modification and substitutional variability of metal-enediyne complexes to control reaction kinetics at physiological temperatures and enhance solubility for potential tumor inhibition. It also evaluates mechanistic rates to optimize lead compound designs. The three-year project period runs from June 2023 to May 2026.
