M.Sc. Research at Jamia Hamdard University (2022-07 – 2024-06)

Thesis: Synthesis of Benzothiazole Derivatives for Anti-Tubercular Activity

• Designed and synthesised benzothiazole–pyridine conjugates as potential anti-TB drug candidates targeting DprE1, an enzyme critical for drug-resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis
• Executed multi-step synthetic routes independently; monitored reactions via TLC and optimised reaction conditions
• Purified novel compounds using column chromatography and confirmed structural identity via ¹H NMR, ¹³C NMR, and UV–Vis spectroscopy
• Proposed a non-covalent inhibition mechanism for DprE1, contributing to rational drug design strategy against MDR-TB
• Maintained detailed laboratory notebooks and compiled findings into a structured dissertation report
