Lectures summary

Prvo predavanje
Synthesis and modification of pyrazole derivatives as potential bioactive molecules
Sinteza i modifikacija derivata pirazola kao potencijalnih bioaktivnih molekula

Pyrazole compounds are interesting due to their versatility in both biological activity and organic synthesis. There are a number of drugs that contain a pyrazole fragment, such as Rimonabant, Celecoxib or Penthiopyrad. Pyrazole compounds exhibit pharmacological activity in the treatment of malaria, cancer, and various viral or bacterial diseases. Although pyrazole compounds are one of the most studied groups, they remain relevant. In this lecture, will be present new pyrazole systems obtained by applying atom-economical and straightforward synthesis and functionalization methodologies, which could find reliable practical application in various fields of chemistry.

Drugo predavanje
Synthesis and modification of indole scaffolds containing N-heterocycles
Sinteza i modifikacija indolnih skeleta koji sadrže N-heterocikle

This talk will cover a three-part scientific journey from the synthesis and modification of native auxin (indol-3-ylacetic acid) analogues with the aim of applying them as plant hormones to the indole-oxadiazole hybrids and their protective activity against oxidative stress. The experience of international/interdisciplinary collaboration will be presented.

Dr. Vilija Kederienė has completed her Bachelor's degree in Chemical Engineering and Master's degree in Applied Chemistry at Kaunas University of Technology (KUT). In 2012, he obtained a PhD in Chemistry Sciences from the KUT (supervisor Prof. Habil. Dr. Algirdas Šačkus). During her PhD studies, Vilija Kederienė gained experience in international cooperation through research internships at the University of Orleans, ICOA (France), with supervisors Prof. Patrick Rollin (2005/2006) and Prof. Arnaud Tatibouet (2010/2011). After completing her PhD, she worked at KUT as a researcher, focusing on custom synthesis projects in collaboration with Danish pharmaceutical companies. Since 2018, she has been an associate professor in the Department of Organic Chemistry at the Faculty of Chemical Technology (FCT) of KUT. From 2016 to 2019, she was the Vice-Dean of Studies of the FCT; from 2019 to 2024, she held the position of the Vice-Dean for Research of the FCT; and since 2024, she is Vice-Dean of Education of the FCT. Vilija Kederienė has been consistently improving her qualifications since 2010 by giving presentations at international conferences, preparing scientific articles, participating in/leading various research and study project activities. Vilija has more than 15 years of teaching experience, including international experience; she leads bachelor's and master's final projects and doctoral students. Since 2015, she has been a member of various commissions and working groups, and since 2021, she has been a member of the KUT Senate. She participates in various expert activities and is also an expert in assessing national and international study programs.

Vida Malinauskienė obtained her PhD in chemistry (2012) at Kaunas University of Technology under supervision of prof. Algirdas Šačkus. Her thesis focused on the synthesis and ring-opening reactions of spiroindoles with respect to their applications as fluorescent molecular probes for biomolecular labelling. During her PhD studies, Vida spent 10 months as visiting researcher in the laboratory of Prof. Dr. Norbert De Kimpe at Ghent University (Belgium). After gaining PhD she continues working in Kaunas University of Technology as a researcher and lecturer. In the period of 2011 till 2020 she participated in a number of science research collaborations with Danish pharmaceutical companies which mainly included custom synthesis.Since 2022 she is associated professor and Head of Chemistry field study programs. Her main teaching subjects are Organic chemistry and Green Chemistry. She accomplished several teaching visits: Palacký University, University of Vienna, University of Liege, IUT Bethune University of Artois, University of Turin. Her research focuses on design and synthesis of N-heterocyclic compounds and low molecular weight amino acid derivatives which could find applications such as building blocks for DNA-encoded libraries, plant growth regulators, with potential anthelmintic or antibacterial properties.
