Biography
BSc (1st Class Hons) - Awarded Ryan Medal (1976) Lecturer in Physical Chemistry (UCD) - 1979/1980 PhD thesis: A Study of Ionic Crystals doped with Aliovalent Impurity Ions (Vols I & II) - 1981 Appointed Lecturer in Pharmaceutical Chemistry (TCD) - 1981
Research Interest
John Quigley lectured at University College Dublin in Quantum Mechanics and graduated with a doctorate in Theoretical Solid State Chemistry in 1981. He conducted quantitative structure-activity studies on the absorption of phenazine derivatives in terms of their physicio-chemical properties, along with the thermodynamics of transfer between n-octanol and water phases. Similar studies were performed for a series of b-adrenergic blocking agents in the isooctane-water system, along with the kinetics of hydrolysis of these systems. These studies have developed into a study of topological indices for a range of active pharmaceutical ingredients, including 5-fluorouracil, b-blocking agents and oxazolidinones.
