Passing the healthcare innovation torch: from medicinal chemistry, though bio...Martin Sumner-Smith
In the middle of the 20th Century, pharmaceutical companies were highly respected and patients depended on their physicians to make healthcare decisions. Drugs were a key part of a physician’s ‘toolkit’.
As we entered the era of the blockbuster drugs, most were small molecules made by chemical synthesis, but biotechnology was starting to emerge as a possible source of new therapeutics. Meanwhile, direct-to-consumer pharmaceutical advertising began to empower patients.
Fast forward to today, and we see pharmaceutical companies suffering degraded reputations and values, patients further empowered by the Internet and social media, and average life expectancies increased by a decade. Digital health technologies are poised to explode and the top 10 pharmaceuticals by sales will soon all be biologicals!
This presentation explores a brief idea about the structural and functional attributes of nucleotides, the structure and function of genetic materials along with the impact of UV rays and pH upon them.
Nutraceutical market, scope and growth: Herbal drug technologyLokesh Patil
As consumer awareness of health and wellness rises, the nutraceutical market—which includes goods like functional meals, drinks, and dietary supplements that provide health advantages beyond basic nutrition—is growing significantly. As healthcare expenses rise, the population ages, and people want natural and preventative health solutions more and more, this industry is increasing quickly. Further driving market expansion are product formulation innovations and the use of cutting-edge technology for customized nutrition. With its worldwide reach, the nutraceutical industry is expected to keep growing and provide significant chances for research and investment in a number of categories, including vitamins, minerals, probiotics, and herbal supplements.

Cancer cell metabolism: special Reference to Lactate PathwayAADYARAJPANDEY1
Normal Cell Metabolism:
Cellular respiration describes the series of steps that cells use to break down sugar and other chemicals to get the energy we need to function.
Energy is stored in the bonds of glucose and when glucose is broken down, much of that energy is released.
Cell utilize energy in the form of ATP.
The first step of respiration is called glycolysis. In a series of steps, glycolysis breaks glucose into two smaller molecules - a chemical called pyruvate. A small amount of ATP is formed during this process.
Most healthy cells continue the breakdown in a second process, called the Kreb's cycle. The Kreb's cycle allows cells to “burn” the pyruvates made in glycolysis to get more ATP.
The last step in the breakdown of glucose is called oxidative phosphorylation (Ox-Phos).
It takes place in specialized cell structures called mitochondria. This process produces a large amount of ATP. Importantly, cells need oxygen to complete oxidative phosphorylation.
If a cell completes only glycolysis, only 2 molecules of ATP are made per glucose. However, if the cell completes the entire respiration process (glycolysis - Kreb's - oxidative phosphorylation), about 36 molecules of ATP are created, giving it much more energy to use.
IN CANCER CELL:
Unlike healthy cells that "burn" the entire molecule of sugar to capture a large amount of energy as ATP, cancer cells are wasteful.
Cancer cells only partially break down sugar molecules. They overuse the first step of respiration, glycolysis. They frequently do not complete the second step, oxidative phosphorylation.
This results in only 2 molecules of ATP per each glucose molecule instead of the 36 or so ATPs healthy cells gain. As a result, cancer cells need to use a lot more sugar molecules to get enough energy to survive.

introduction to WARBERG PHENOMENA:
WARBURG EFFECT Usually, cancer cells are highly glycolytic (glucose addiction) and take up more glucose than do normal cells from outside.
Otto Heinrich Warburg (; 8 October 1883 – 1 August 1970) In 1931 was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physiology for his "discovery of the nature and mode of action of the respiratory enzyme.
WARNBURG EFFECT : cancer cells under aerobic (well-oxygenated) conditions to metabolize glucose to lactate (aerobic glycolysis) is known as the Warburg effect. Warburg made the observation that tumor slices consume glucose and secrete lactate at a higher rate than normal tissues.
Deep Behavioral Phenotyping in Systems Neuroscience for Functional Atlasing a...Ana Luísa Pinho
Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) provides means to characterize brain activations in response to behavior. However, cognitive neuroscience has been limited to group-level effects referring to the performance of specific tasks. To obtain the functional profile of elementary cognitive mechanisms, the combination of brain responses to many tasks is required. Yet, to date, both structural atlases and parcellation-based activations do not fully account for cognitive function and still present several limitations. Further, they do not adapt overall to individual characteristics. In this talk, I will give an account of deep-behavioral phenotyping strategies, namely data-driven methods in large task-fMRI datasets, to optimize functional brain-data collection and improve inference of effects-of-interest related to mental processes. Key to this approach is the employment of fast multi-functional paradigms rich on features that can be well parametrized and, consequently, facilitate the creation of psycho-physiological constructs to be modelled with imaging data. Particular emphasis will be given to music stimuli when studying high-order cognitive mechanisms, due to their ecological nature and quality to enable complex behavior compounded by discrete entities. I will also discuss how deep-behavioral phenotyping and individualized models applied to neuroimaging data can better account for the subject-specific organization of domain-general cognitive systems in the human brain. Finally, the accumulation of functional brain signatures brings the possibility to clarify relationships among tasks and create a univocal link between brain systems and mental functions through: (1) the development of ontologies proposing an organization of cognitive processes; and (2) brain-network taxonomies describing functional specialization. To this end, tools to improve commensurability in cognitive science are necessary, such as public repositories, ontology-based platforms and automated meta-analysis tools. I will thus discuss some brain-atlasing resources currently under development, and their applicability in cognitive as well as clinical neuroscience.
3. your entire body is made up of chemicals
chemical processes underlie all body
processes
the food you eat, the medicines you take,
it’s all chemistry!
4. chemistry: the science that deals with the
composition and properties of substances and
various elementary forms of matter.
biochemistry: the chemistry of living
material
5. matter: anything that has mass and takes
up space
it is the “stuff” of the universe
chemistry studies the nature of matter
6. three main states of matter
1. solid – definite shape, definite volume
2. liquid – no definite shape, definite volume
(fits to the size of its container)
3. gas – no definite shape, no definite volume
(expands to fill available space)
8. Element: substances that cannot be broken
down into simpler substances
Can you name some examples?
(Please say yes!)
9. A complete listing of all the elements
appears in the Periodic Table
It is called periodic because it repeats
The modern Periodic Table was developed in
1869 by a Russian scientist named Dimitri
Mendeleev
10.
11. A vertical column is called a group or a
family
These groups usually contain the same number of
valence electrons
A horizontal row is called is called a period
or a series
These periods show similarities in ionization and
activation energy
12. On the left hand side are the metals
Usually solid, shiny, good conductors of heat and
electricity
On the right hand side are the non-metals
Usually gaseous, dull, poor conductors of heat
and electricity
In the diagonal space between metals and
non-metals are the metalloids
Some characteristics of both metals and non-
metals
13.
14. Review: (fingers crossed here)
All elements are made up of only one type of
atom
Atom: the smallest part of an element,
indivisible by normal chemical means
15. Every atom is composed of three types of
subatomic particles:
1. Protons (P+) positively charged, found in
the nucleus, has mass
2. Neutrons (N0) neutrally charged, found in
the nucleus, has mass
3. Electrons (E-) negatively charged, found
outside the nucleus, had negligible mass
16. The Chemical/Elemental Name of the
element is given
The abbreviated symbol related to the name
of the element is called the
Chemical/Elemental symbol
17. The atomic number is the number of
electrons
And in a balanced atom, the number of
electrons is equal to the number of protons
Think here, - = + means no charge!
18. Then the atomic mass is equal to the mass of
the nucleus (protons + neutrons)
Remember, neutrons add mass but have no
charge!
19. To find the number of neutrons all you must
do is:
Atomic mass – atomic number
(protons + neutrons) – protons = neutrons
Easy!
20. You should be able to tell me the chemical
symbol, chemical name, atomic mass, atomic
number, number of protons, neutrons and
electrons.
21. Ok, so now that you are experts (or at least
not clueless) let’s try so advanced uses of the
Periodic Table
22. Electrons exist outside the nucleus of the
atom and move continuously
They are negatively charged and are always
pulled towards the positively charged
nucleus
But they do this at different locations
23. Electron shells or energy levels: the regions
in which electrons travel
Each shell can only hold a certain number of
electrons
The outer most level is called the valence
level and the electrons in that level are
called valence electrons
24. In English,
Level 1 = 2
Level 2 = 8
Level 3 = 18
Level 4 = 32
That’s all I will
make you learn for
now
25. Because electrons are not stationary it is
important to show where they are generally
located
In order to do this we can used either a Bohr
Diagram or a Lewis Diagram (Dot Diagram)
26. Bohr Diagrams show ALL electrons in their
correct energy levels
Let’s look at Oxygen:
32. Isotopes: atoms of the same elements with a
different number of neutrons
Therefore, they have a different atomic mass
The mass changes but the charge does not!
33. Because isotopes have the
same number of electrons
their chemical properties
are the same
They have the same
reactivity and bonding
ability
34. Radioisotopes: the heavier isotopes of
certain atoms are unstable and tend to
decompose (to become more stable)
Radioactivity: the spontaneous decay of
radioisotopes
The most commonly used radioisotope is C13
35. Radioisotopes are used in minute amounts to
tag biological molecules so that they can be
followed throughout the body
Valuable for medical diagnosis and treatment
37. matter may be changed both physically and
chemically
physical changes do not alter the basic
nature of a substance
ex. melting, contraction of the muscles,
blood vessel contraction
38. chemical changes do alter the composition of
the substance
ex. burning, fermenting, lactic acid
production, hormone release
39.
40. energy: the ability to do work
massless and does not take up space
41. kinetic energy: energy of motion
potential energy: inactive or stored energy
all forms of energy exhibit both kinetic and
potential work capacities
42. Remember!
All living things are made or matter and all
living things require a continuous supply of
energy
43. 1. Chemical Energy
2. Electrical Energy
3. Mechanical Energy
4. Radiant Energy
44. is stored in the bonds
of chemical
substances
when the bonds are
broken, the potential
energy is unleashed
and becomes kinetic
energy
ex. car engine
(internal combustion
engine)
45. results from the movement of charged
particles
in the house, electrical energy is the flow
through your wiring
46. in your body, an
electrical current is
generated when charged
particles (ion) move
across cell membranes
the nervous system uses
electrical currents
called nerve impulses to
transmit messages from
one part of the body to
another
47. energy directly involved in moving matter
as the muscles in your legs shorten, they
pull on your bones, causing your limbs to
move
48. travels in waves
the energy of the electromagnetic spectrum
this includes x rays, infrared radiation,
visible light, radio, uv rays
49. with a few exceptions, energy is easily
converted from one form to another
50. in the body, chemical
energy of foods is
trapped in the bonds of
a high-energy chemical
called ATP (Adenosine
TriPhosphate)
ATP’s energy may
ultimately be
transformed into the
electrical energy of a
nerve impulse or
mechanical energy of
shortening muscles
51. Energy conversions are inefficient
some of the energy supply is always “lost” to
heat
52. it is not really lost but rather unusuable
Remember, energy is neither created nor
destroyed, it only changed form
for example, when matter is heated, the
particles move more quickly (their kinetic
energy increases)
54. Organic compounds:
Molecules that contain
atoms of Carbon,
Hydrogen and usually
Oxygen
High energy molecules, it
takes energy to make
them
The ability to use energy
to make or synthesize
organic compounds is an
important characteristic
of all living things
55. On their own, organic compounds would
break down, releasing energy
Organisms are able to control this breakdown
in order to harness the energy released
Most organic compounds belong to one of
four main groups: Carbohydrates, Proteins,
Lipids, Nucleic Acids
56. Carbohydrates are composed mainly of just
the basic elements of other organic
molecules: carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen
monomer: monosaccharides, polysaccharides
Simplest one is glucose
57. Most complex sugars are formed from a chain
of simple sugars
Starches and more complex sugars consist of
very long chains that may include more than
just simple sugars
58. Some carbs are structural molecules which
provide support and protection
Ex. Chitin and cellulose
Healthy carbs are naturally occurring sugars
Unhealthy carbs are refined, added simple
and complex sugars
kCals only, no nutritional value
59. Made up of amino acids - 20 different a.a.
Monomer: amino acids
Enzymes: proteins that speed up or
catalyze, specific chemical reactions
All enzymes are proteins but all proteins
are not enzymes
work in enzyme-substrate complex
enzyme is the “lock”
substrate is the “key”
60. Without enzymes, most metabolic
reactions would proceed very slowly or
not at all
Ex. Lipases break down lipids (fats)
Some hormones are proteins
Ex. Insulin
Hormones: chemicals that act as
messengers to help different parts of the
body to work together
61. Four stages of Protein Folding
1. Amino Acid strand - disulfide bridges
2. A helix or B pleated sheets
3. Tertiary folding - hydrogen bonding,
more disulfide bridging within the same
molecule
4. Quaternary structure, multiple tertiary
structures joining together
62.
63. Humans can synthesize 11 of 20 a.a.
required for protein synthesis - “non-
essential a.a.”
Remaining 9 - “essential a.a.”
must be included in diet
64. Monomers: Glycerol molecule bonded to 3
fatty acid molecules
Lipids are often used for energy storage,
helping form membranes, and waterproofing
surfaces
66. Saturated Fats - “bad” fats
no “kinks” in the chain, able to pack together
Unsaturated Fats
Polyunsaturated fats and monounsaturated
fats - “good” fats
“kinks” allow fats to stay free
67. Nucleic acids store and transmit the basic
genetic information of all living things
Monomer: nucleotides
Nucleotides consist of a simple sugar joined
to molecules containing phosphorus and
nitrogen
68. One type of nucleic acid is DNA
(Deoxyribonucleic Acid)
DNA specifies all the instructions for an
organism’s construction and maintenance
69. Genome: An organism’s complete genetic
information
The 4 nitrogenous bases of the nucleotides
are: Adenine, Cytosine, Thymine, and
Guanine
Nitrogenous bases are like letters in a word,
and genes are like complete “words” in a
sentence
70. RNA – Ribonucleic Acid
Uracil instead of Thymine
Many RNA molecules help
convert the genetic info
contained in DNA into
proteins - protein
synthesis
Some RNAs catalyze
reactions like enzymes
71. When two or more atoms
combine chemically
molecules are formed
For example, when two
Nitrogen atoms bond, a
molecules of Nitrogen gas
is formed
N + N -> N2
72. In the Nitrogen example the reactants are
the substances involved in the chemical
reaction (the single Nitrogen atoms)
The product is the substance that results
from the reaction (the Nitrogen molecule)
73. A Molecular formula shows the chemical
composition or atomic makeup of a molecule
What chemicals are in NaCl?
Bonus points if you know what this is!
74. When two or more different atoms bond
together to form a molecule, the molecule is
called a compound
For example 2H + O -> H2O
Thus a molecule of water is a compound
75. It is important
to remember
that compounds
have properties
different from
those of the
elements of
which they are
composed
76. Chemical reactions: when two or more atoms
combine with or dissociate from each other
77. A chemical bond is an
energy relationship
Bonds are directly
related to the number of
valence electrons and
the electron levels
78. Remember, electrons occupy generally fixed
regions of space around the nucleus called
electron shells or energy levels
The electrons closest to the nucleus are the
most strongly attracted and those farther
from the nucleus are less securely held
79. The only electrons that
are important when
considering bonding
behavior are those in
the valence level
When the valence level
has 8 electrons, the
atom is completely
stable and is chemically
inactive (inert)
80. When the
valence shell
contains fewer
than 8
electrons, an
atom will tend
to gain, lose or
share electrons
to reach a
stable level
82. Ionic Bond: A chemical bond formed when
electrons are completely transferred from
one atom to another
83. Atoms are electrically neutral, but when
they gain or lose electrons during bonding,
their positive and negative charges are no
longer balanced
This creates ions or charged particles
86. Cation: a positively charged ion that results
from the loss of an electron
87. Both anions and cations result when an ionic
bond forms
Because opposite charges attract, the newly
created ions tend to stay together
Ex. Sodium chloride (Table Salt)
88. Salts: are ionic compounds that result from
the neutralization of an acid and a base
They are composed of a cation and an anion
so the resulting product is neutral
89. Electrons do not need to be completely
gained or lost for atoms to become stable
Covalent molecules: molecules in which
atoms share electrons
Covalent bonds: bonds resulting from a
shared pair of electrons
(co = with, valent = having power)
91. Molecules in which the electrons are shared
equally are called nonpolar covalently
bonded molecules
92. When the electron pairs are not equally
shared, the result is a polar molecule
(A molecule with two poles)
93. Hydrogen bonds:
extremely weak bonds
formed when a Hydrogen
atom bound to one
electron-hungry atom is
attracted by another
electron-hungry atom
(Nitrogen or Oxygen are
good examples of
electron-hungry atoms)
Forms a “bridge”
94. Hydrogen bonds are also important
intramolecular bonds
They help binds different parts of the same
molecule together
They are fragile but very important in
helping maintain the structure of protein
molecules
96. Synthesis reactions: when two or more atoms
or molecules combine to form a larger, more
complex molecules
97. Always involve bond formation
Energy must be absorbed to make bonds
Underlie all anabolic (constructive) activities
in body cells
Important in growth and tissue repair
99. Synthesis reactions in reverse
Bonds are always broken
Chemical energy is released
Underlie all catabolic (destructive) processes
in body cells
Molecule-degrading reactions
Ex. food digestion and glycogen breakdown
100. Exchange reactions: reactions that involve
both synthesis and decomposition reactions
101. Bond are both made and broken
A switch is made between molecule parts and
different molecules are formed
102. Remember! Regardless of the type of
reaction, most chemical reactions are
reversible.
Also temperature, particle size,
concentration of particles and catalyst
presence influence the rate of chemical
reactions
