PUNE: Senior scientist of National Chemical Laboratory (NCL), D Srinivasa Reddy has been selected for this year’s NASI-Reliance Industries Platinum Jubilee award for the application oriented innovations in the area of physical sciences instituted by the National Academy of Sciences, India (NASI). Two awards each in physical sciences and two in biological sciences are given every year, a statement issued by NCL said.
Manindra Agrawal from Department of Computer Science and Engineering, Indian Institute of Kanpur is the other recipient of this award in physical sciences. Each award carries a plaque and Rs 2 lakh cash.
The award will be presented in the 85th annual session of National Academy of Sciences, India. Reddy’s research group 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, said the statement. The total synthesis of more than 20 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.
