OVERVIEW.The objective of the proposed research project is to evolve catalytic cycloaddition reactions that originate through metallovinylcarbene [3+n]-cycloaddition processes in new directions. We will develop transformations made possible with [3+n]-cycloaddition products. will advance Br??nsted acid catalyzed cycloaddition reactions for efficient. previously unattainable molecular constructions. and will use novel chiral donor-acceptor (D-A) cyclopropanes for cycloaddition that occurs with retention of configuration.

This renewal proposal outlines the expansion of the existing Center for Innovative Drug Discovery (CIDD). a truly first of its kind resource of core facilities and capabilities in South Texas to better support the discovery and development of new cancer therapeutics. The CIDD. which is comprised of two integrated core facilities for Medicinal Chemistry at UTSA and High Throughput Screening at UTHSA. has been providing researchers in San Antonio and South Texas access to coordinated technologies.

Many commonly prescribed chemotherapy drugs have adverse side effects that include disruptions in taste. It is reported that 50-80% of cancer patients who receive chemotherapy treatments experience taste alteration in the form of reduced taste sensitivity. distorted taste perception. or even complete loss of taste during treatment1-5. These deficits can persist for months beyond the end of therapy. Indeed. the side effects of chemotherapy on taste is listed as one of the most disturbing elements of treatment.

Hearing protection devices (HPDs) are standard personal protective equipment (PPE). but servicemembers often do not use them because HPDs impair spatial hearing. which compromises situation awareness. Here we will quantify the impact of a passive HPD on spatial hearing and motion perception. and test if a 3-day augmented reality training regime induces plasticity leading to significant improvements. Attention profoundly influences auditory processing. and is expected to facilitate training-related plasticity.
