The design and synthesis of novel pro-drugs for the treatment of nephropathic cystinosis. (2015)
Thesis
BAHMED, A. 2015. The design and synthesis of novel pro-drugs for the treatment of nephropathic cystinosis. Robert Gordon University, PhD thesis.

Cystinosis is a metabolic disorder characterised by the abnormal accumulation of the amino acid cystine in cells leading to a slow destruction of all major organs. If patients diagnosed with cystinosis are untreated, death due to kidney failure ensue... Read More about The design and synthesis of novel pro-drugs for the treatment of nephropathic cystinosis..

Journal Article
MCKENZIE, B., KAY, G., MATTHEWS, K.H., KNOTT, R.M. and CAIRNS, D. 2015. The hen’s egg chorioallantoic membrane (HET-CAM) test to predict the ophthalmic irritation potential of a cysteamine-containing gel: quantification using Photoshop® and ImageJ. International journal of pharmaceutics [online], 490(1-2), pages 1-8. Available from: https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ijpharm.2015.05.023

A modified hen’s egg chorioallantoic membrane (HET-CAM) test has been developed, combining ImageJ analysis with Adobe® Photoshop®. The irritation potential of an ophthalmic medicine can be quantified using this method, by monitoring damage to blood v...
