Pharmaceutical applications and crystal structures of trehalose and its derivatives. (2004)
Thesis
CLOW, S.M. 2004. Pharmaceutical applications and crystal structures of trehalose and its derivatives. Robert Gordon University, PhD thesis. Hosted on OpenAIR [online]. Available from: https://doi.org/10.48526/rgu-wt-2807331

a-a’-Trehalose dihydrate, a-D-glucopyranosyl-a-D-glucopyranoside, is a naturally occurring sugar composed of two glucose monomers with an a-1,1-glycosidic linkage. Some plants and animals utilise trehalose to facilitate cryptobiosis (life without wat... Read More about Pharmaceutical applications and crystal structures of trehalose and its derivatives..

The synthesis and structural examination of 3alpha, 5-cyclo-5alpha-androstane steroids. (1992)
Thesis
GIBB, B.C. 1992. The synthesis and structural examination of 3alpha, 5-cyclo-5alpha-androstane steroids. Robert Gordon University, PhD thesis.

The work described in this thesis is based on the synthesis and structural examination of several cyclosteroids. The a-aromatic steroid 3a, 5-cyclo-5c-androstan-6beta-ol- 17-one was used as a lead compound in an attempt to produce, in particular, the...
