Dr. Srinivasa Reddy of CSIR-NCL bags the
prestigious Shanti Swarup Bhatnagar Prize
sept 2015..............http://www.biospectrumindia.com/biospecindia/news/222486/
The award comprises a citation, a plaque, a cash prize of Rs 5 lakh
The Shanti Swarup Bhatnagar Prize for the year 2015 in chemical sciences has been awarded to Dr. D. Srinivasa Reddy of CSIR-National Chemical Laboratory (CSIR-NCL), Pune for his outstanding contributions to the area of total synthesis of natural products and medicinal chemistry.
This is a most prestigious award given to the scientists under 45 years of age and who have demonstrated exceptional potential in Science and Technology. The award derives its value from its rich legacy of those who won this award before and added enormous value to Indian Science.
Dr. Reddy will be bestowed with the award at a formal function, which shall be presided over by the honourable Prime Minister. The award, named after the founder director general of Council of Scientific & Industrial Research (CSIR), Dr. Shanti Swarup Bhatnagar, comprises a citation, a plaque, a cash prize of Rs 5 lakh.
Dr. Reddy's research group current interests are in the field of total synthesis and drug discovery by applying medicinal chemistry. He has also been involved in the synthesis of the agrochemicals like small molecules for crop protection. The total synthesis of more than twenty natural products has been achieved in his lab including a sex pheromone that attracts the mealy bugs and has potential use in the crop protection. On the medicinal chemistry front significant progress has been made by his group using a new concept called "Silicon-switch approach" towards central nervous system drugs. Identification of New Chemical Entities for the potential treatment of diabetes and infectious diseases is being done in collaboration with industry partners.
His efforts are evidenced by 65 publications and 30 patents. He has recently received the NASI-Reliance industries platinum jubilee award-2015 for application oriented innovations and the CRSI bronze medal. In addition, he is also the recipient of Central Drug Research Institute award for excellence in the drug research in chemical sciences and scientist of the year award by the NCL Research Foundation in the year 2013. Dr. Reddy had worked with pharmaceutical companies for seven years before joining CSIR-NCL in 2010.

Our group research interests are broadly in total synthesis of biologically active compounds and medicinal chemistry. Current projects include the total synthesis of bioactive natural products such as antiinflammatory agents, antibacterial agents, antimalarial compounds and anti-cancer agents. Targets are chosen for their interesting biological activity and moderate complexity, which drives our creative solutions to their synthesis. Our ability to achieve an efficient synthesis enables us to access sufficient quantities of target molecule for biological profiling and ready access to different analogs that may prove to be more selective and efficacious as a drug-like molecule. We have plans to divert our total synthesis projects into medicinal chemistry projects by simplifying the complex structures. In medicinal chemistry front, our main interest is to use "silicon-switch approach" to discover novel drugs or drug-like molecules with improved pharmacokintetic (PK) and pharmacodynamic (PD) properties.

A simple and efficient synthesis of functionalized cis-hydrindanes and cis-decalins
was achieved using a sequential Diels–Alder/aldol approach in a highly
diastereoselective manner. The scope of this method was tested with a
variety of substrates and was successfully applied to the synthesis of
two natural products in racemic form. The highlights of the present work
provide ready access to 13 new cis-hydrindanes/cis-decalins,
a protecting group-free total synthesis of an insect repellent
Nootkatone, and the first synthesis of a Noreremophilane using the
shortest sequence.

A simple and convenient method to access 4-quinolone-3-carboxylic
acid amides from indole-3-acetic acid amides through one-pot oxidative
cleavage of the indole ring followed by condensation (Witkop–Winterfeldt
type oxidation) was explored. The scope of the method was confirmed
with more than 20 examples and was successfully applied to the synthesis
of the drug Ivacaftor, the most expensive drug on the market.
