• Caesium Fluoride-Mediated Hydrocarboxylation of Alkenes and Allenes: Scope and Mechanistic Insights 

      Gevorgyan, Ashot; Obst, Marc; Guttormsen, Yngve; Maseras, Feliu; Hopmann, Kathrin Helen; Bayer, Annette (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2019-09-11)
      A caesium fluoride-mediated hydrocarboxylation of olefins is disclosed that does not rely on precious transition metal catalysts and ligands. The reaction occurs at atmospheric pressures of CO<sub>2</sub> in the presence of 9-BBN as a stoichiometric reductant. Stilbenes, β-substituted styrenes and allenes could be carboxylated in good yields. The developed methodology can be used for preparation of ...

    • Enantioselective incorporation of CO2: status and potential 

      Vaitla, Janakiram; Guttormsen, Yngve; Mannisto, Jere K.; Nova, Ainara; Repo, Timo; Bayer, Annette; Hopmann, Kathrin Helen (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2017-09-09)
      CO<sub>2</sub> is a promising and sustainable carbon feedstock for organic synthesis. New catalytic protocols for efficient incorporation of CO<sub>2</sub>into organic molecules are continuously being reported. However, little progress has been made in the enantioselective conversion of CO<sub>2</sub>to form enantioenriched molecules. In order to allow CO<sub>2</sub>to become a versatile carbon ...
    • Glioblastoma PET/MRI: kinetic investigation of [<sup>18</sup>F]rhPSMA-7.3, [<sup>18</sup>F]FET and [<sup>18</sup>F]fluciclovine in an orthotopic mouse model of cancer 

      Lindemann, Marcel; Oteiza, Ana; Martin-Armas, Montserrat; Guttormsen, Yngve; Moldes-Anaya, Angel; Berzaghi, Rodrigo; Bogsrud, Trond; Bach-Gansmo, Tore; Sundset, Rune; Kranz, Mathias (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-11-22)
      <b><p>Purpose</b> Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is the most common glioma and standard therapies can only slightly prolong the survival. Neo-vascularization is a potential target to image tumor microenvironment, as it defines its brain invasion. We investigate [<sup>18</sup>F]rhPSMA-7.3 with PET/MRI for quantitative imaging of neo-vascularization in GBM bearing mice and human tumor tissue and compare ...
    • Kinase chemodiversity from the Arctic: the breitfussins 

      Østnes Hansen, Kine; Andersen, Jeanette hammer; Bayer, Annette; Pandey, Sunil Kumar; Lorentzen, Marianne; Jørgensen, Kåre Bredeli; Sydnes, Magne Olav; Guttormsen, Yngve; Baumann, Matthias; Koch, Uwe; Klebl, Bert; Eickhoff, Jan; Haug, Bengt Erik; Isaksson, Johan; Hansen, Espen (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2019-10-24)
      In this work, we demonstrate that the indole-oxazole-pyrrole framework of the breitfussin family of natural products is a promising scaffold for kinase inhibition. Six new halogenated natural products, breitfussin C–H (3 – 8) were isolated and characterized from the Arctic, marine hydrozoan Thuiaria breitfussi. The structures of two of the new natural products were also confirmed by total synthesis. ...
    • On the Synthesis of Breitfussins. Toward the total synthesis of Breitfussin A and analogues 

      Guttormsen, Yngve (Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2014-05)
      The Breitfussins are a series of closely related heterocyclic compounds originated from the marine organism Thelia Breitfussi. The core is a 5(indol-3-yl)-2-(pyrrol-2-yl)oxazole, which has not been observed prior to its isolation in 2007. The divergence of the Breitfussins lies in the halogenation pattern and methoxy substitution. Breitfussin A is of synthetic interest because of its novel structural ...
    • Screening and Design of Inhibitor Scaffolds for the Antibiotic Resistance Oxacillinase-48 (OXA-48) through Surface Plasmon Resonance Screening 

      Lund, Bjarte Aarmo; Christopeit, Tony; Guttormsen, Yngve; Bayer, Annette; Leiros, Hanna-Kirsti S. (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2016-05-11)
      The spread of antibiotic resistant bacteria is a global threat that shakes the foundations of modern healthcare. β-Lactamases are enzymes that confer resistance to β-lactam antibiotics in bacteria, and there is a critical need for new inhibitors of these enzymes for combination therapy together with an antibiotic. With this in mind, we have screened a library of 490 fragments to identify starting ...
    • Total Synthesis of Phorbazole B 

      Guttormsen, Yngve; Fairhurst, Magnus John Espeland; Pandey, Sunil Kumar; Isaksson, Johan; Haug, Bengt Erik; Bayer, Annette (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-10-21)
      Phorbazoles are polychlorinated heterocyclic secondary metabolites isolated from a marine sponge and several of these natural products have shown inhibitory activity against cancer cells. In this work, a synthesis of the trichlorinated phorbazole B using late stage electrophilic chlorination was developed. The synthesis relied on the use of an oxazole precursor, which was protected with an iodine ...
