Research thesis.
Aladin Hamoud’s research is focused on the synthesis of original amphiphiles such as nucleolipids and glyco-nucleolipids. They showed a great ability to self-assemble thanks to various weak interactions and are of interest for the development of new biotechnologies. Some of them are already involved in the development of novel drug or biomolecule delivery systems.
A synthetic strategy based on the Stetter reaction was developed. It gives an access to many structures controlling the nature of the nucleoside, the lipid and also the linker between these two parts. Thereby the study of their physico-chemical properties will help us understanding the particular abilities of these compounds.
This work, funded by the French “Ministère de l’Enseignement Supérieur et de la Recherche”, was presented in three international congresses as poster or oral communication and received the award of the doctoral school of chemistry of Bordeaux in 2017.
