Evaluation of cancer chemopreventive potential of dietary constituents employing several long-term animal tumor bioassay protocols, and short-term animal and cell culture assays. Models include skin, prostate, breast, lung, colon, bladder. Mechanism of cancer prevention: Oncogenes and suppressor genes - ras oncoprotein p21 processing enzyme farnesyltransferase, cell cycle modulation, p53, cyclins, cyclin dependent kinases, cyclin dependent kinase inhibitors (Cip 1/p21, Kip1/p27), apoptosis, and mitogenic and anti-apoptotic signaling pathways. Therapy of cancer: Dietary and synthetic agents - cell culture studies and nude mice xenograft models. Carcinogenesis - causation and mechanistic studies employing enzyme bioassay and molecular biology approaches, cell culture technique and long-term animal tumor studies. Drug Metabolism - purification of cytochrome P450 1A1, and characterization by SDS-PAGE, Western blotting, peptide mapping and sequencing. Photodynamic therapy -in vivo and in vitro mechanisms of photodynamic effect of photosensitizers, specifically phthalocyanines, and evaluation of PDT effect of phthalocyanines in murine skin tumor models. Protein chemistry - isolation, characterization and structure determination of proteins by chemical modifications, photo cross-linking, HPLC, SDS-PAGE analysis, Western blotting, peptide analysis and N-terminal amino acid sequencing. Medicinal chemistry - synthesis of different heterocyclic nuclei like indoles, quinazolones, imidazolones, pyrazolones, thiazolidenes etc., their structural characterization and screening for CNS disorders and activity as anti-inflammatory agents.
