|
| Dr. Tiekink of UTSA to speak at Schreiner's
Crate Lecture Series |
|
|
The Schreiner University fall
Harry Crate Lecture
is scheduled for Nov. 1 at 7 p.m. in the
Floyd & Kathleen Cailloux Campus Activity Center on
the University campus. Dr. Edward Tiekink, associate
dean of graduate studies in chemistry at the
University of Texas at San Antonio, will speak on
“Bismuth Thiolates: Pharmaceutical Use and
Development.”
According to Dr. Tiekink, bismuth compounds are
useful in therapeutic situations; however, “metallic
bismuth is not absorbed in humans. When chemists
combine bismuth with organic molecules, bismuth can
be solubilised and absorbed in patients. This is a
useful way of delivering bismuth to patients. Walk
down the ‘medicine’ aisle in your local store and
you'll see Pepto-Bismol, a bismuth formulation for
the treatment of stomach complaints.

“In this presentation, we will see that other
bismuth compounds can exhibit a range of
pharmaceutical potential, from anti-tumor agents to
anti-virals. I will discuss the rationale, chemistry
and biological evaluation of new bismuth compounds
and their potential pharmacological uses.”
The Crate lectures are free and open to
the public. For more information, contact Dr.
Bob Holloway, associate professor of chemistry at
Schreiner, (830) 792-7250 or
bholloway@schreiner.edu. |
