Plant material for phytochemitry:
I joined the group yesterday. …, Thanks for letting me in.
I would like to introduce myself as … I have completed a Ph.D. in Pharmaceutical Chemistry in the Department of Pharmaceutical Engineering & Technology, IIT (B.H.U.), Varanasi, India. During my Ph.D., I worked on the phytochemistry and medicinal chemistry of two plants, Ipomoea nil and Gloriosa superba. From these plants, Two new compounds (previously undescribed), along with several known compounds. All the isolated compounds were characterized by 1D (1H, 13C and DEPT-135), 2D (HSQC, HMBC, COSY and NOESY) NMR, LC-MS spectral techniques. Further, Major isolates were derivatized by semisynthetic modification to optimize the biological activity. I am well-versed with the structural elucidation of small molecules using various NMR spectral techniques.
After completing PhD, I worked as a postdoctoral researcher with Prof. Lloyd W Sumner at University of Missouri-Columbia, USA. In this role, my focus was on developing a database specifically for the Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) analysis of natural products. I also conducted independent work utilizing NMR, LCMS, and GCMS instruments. Additionally, my research involved plant metabolomics and the isolation of natural products through the application of the UHPLC-MS-SPE-NMR technique.
Presently, I hold a position as Assistant Professor at Amity University Punjab, India.
I request you all to suggest any indigenous plant name that has not been explored much, and it should be available. I’ll appreciate any suggestions.
