Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Qin-Pei Wu"
- Qin-Pei Wu's recent research primarily focuses on the development of novel fluorophores and antiviral compounds, highlighting the importance of selecting appropriate fluorophores based on their structural and fluorescence properties for various applications.
- His work includes the exploration of near-infrared light-induced mild hyperthermia to enhance chemotherapy effectiveness, through mechanisms such as glutathione depletion and DNA interstrand cross-link formation, particularly in relation to cisplatin therapy.
- Additionally, Wu has made significant contributions to antiviral drug development, particularly targeting herpesviruses such as cytomegalovirus and varicella-zoster virus, by synthesizing new compounds that exhibit lower toxicity and reduced drug resistance compared to existing treatments.
