Mathematical Modelling of The Liver Microcirculation
Creators: name: Leungchavaphongse, Kritsada
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2013

description: The models of the microcirculation of blood and interstitial fluid in the human liver lobule are developed based on the classical hexagon model of Kiernan. Both blood and interstitial flows in the lobule are treated as flows in porous medium connected via the fenestrated membrane of sinusoids. Several important physiological components are developed and included in the models. The lobule with tissue elasticity shows that the pressure-flux relationship is non-linear and the poroelastic model has more compliance than the solid elastic model. Models of the interstitial flow in both a single lobule and the whole liver are also developed. The results show that our models can predict the amount of interstitial fluid drainage including the ascites. From the parameter studies, we find that the permeabilities of the sinusoids and the interstitial space, and the portal pressure are the most important factors on ascites production. We further investigate the oxygen transportation and uptake by liver cells using the advection–diffusion equations and Michaelis-Menten kinetics. The studies show that the main mechanism of oxygen transportation within the sinusoids is advection; however, the transportations within the interstitial space and across the fenestrated endothelial cells are mainly from diffusion process. The effect of the arrangement of the vessels and the geometry of the lobule on blood perfusion and oxygen distribution is also studied. The results show that the classical hexagonal lobule with the vascular septa provides the optimal perfusion compared to other geometries of the lobule. In summary, this thesis contributes to the development of mathematical models of several important features in the liver microcirculation such as the tissue elasticity, the interstitial flow, the oxygen distribution, and the arrangement of the vessels in the lobule.
Biodegradation of nonylphenol ethoxylates (NPEOs) in a membrane aerated biofilm reactor (MABR)
Creators: name: Puteh, Mohd Hafiz Bin
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2013

description: The degradation intermediates of NPEOs surfactants (NP and short chain NPEOs) are of growing concern in environmental studies. These intermediates, recognised as endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs), are more toxic and refractory than their parent compounds. Their formation is assisted by anaerobic process, while their further breakdown to less harmful compounds is more easily achieved in aerobic environments. In this study, an hybrid MABR was exploited to completely degrade NPEOs, based on the concept of a multi-layered biofilm in the MABR that permits a simultaneous anaerobic-aerobic process to occur in a single reactor. This is the first study conducted on NPEOs biodegradation in an MABR. Batch microcosm experiments were conducted primarily to simulate NPEOs biodegradation behaviour in the MABR. The results showed that NPEOs removal was improved in a simultaneous anaerobic-aerobic system, as compared to a fully anaerobic system. A microporous polypropylene membrane with a non-woven polypropylene scrim heat-sealed to the surface was then used as an aeration device and biofilm support in a flat sheet MABR. Under steady state conditions (NPEOave9 surface loading of 0.49 g/m2.d; at 48 hr HRT), the reactor achieved an excellent removal of NPEOs (up to >99%) and organics in terms of COD (up to 93%). The disruption of MABR performance was less pronounced under hydraulic shock loads (reduced HRT) compared to organic shock loads (increased NPEOave9 concentration), and this was postulated to be due to improved NPEOave9 mass transfer into the biofilm. Despite the slow MABR recovery from shock loads, a stable NPEOs removal of more than 95% was achievable after the recovery periods. Based on HPLC-UV and GC-MS analyses, the EO units of NPEOave9 were sequentially shortened (commonly via a nonoxidative pathway) over 500 days of operation to the major intermediate of NPEO1. Nevertheless, complete removal of NPEO1 was unsatisfactory, and more work needs to be done to optimise and investigate the role of the aerobic layer in degrading the compound. Nevertheless, this study has shown that the MABR is very reliable for the removal of both COD and NPEOs under long term operation, and the presence of toxic intermediates did not appear to inhibit overall reactor performance.
Characterisation and estimation of the flow over a forward-facing step
Creators: name: Pearson, David Stanley
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2012

description: The turbulent flow over a forward-facing step is studied using two-dimensional time-resolved Particle Image Velocimetry and simultaneously sampled wall-pressure fluctuations. The structure and behaviour of the separation region in front of the step is investigated using conditional averages based on the area of reverse flow present. The relation between the position of upstream separation and the two-dimensional shape of the separation region is presented. It is shown that when of ‘closed’ form, the separation region can become unstable resulting in the ejection of fluid over the corner of the step. The conditional averages are traced backwards in time to identify the average behaviour of the boundary layer displacement thickness leading up to such events. It is shown that these ejections are preceded by the convection of low velocity regions from upstream, resulting in a three-dimensional interaction within the separation region. The ejections are also shown to be linked to instances of increased swirling motion downstream. A mechanism for this process is proposed based on observations of the flow angle and magnitude over the step corner. The velocity field is then estimated using wall-pressure measurements. A linear model of the flow is created using Optimal Mode Decomposition (OMD), which is a generalisation of Dynamic Mode Decomposition (DMD). A comparison between OMD and DMD is made using both a synthetic waveform and the PIV data. In both instances it is shown to provide a model with a lower residual error and, for the synthetic waveform, an improved estimate of the system eigenvalues. The weights of the OMD modes are then used as the system states in a Kalman Filter with the pressure measurements as the system output. The performance of the Kalman Filter is shown to be superior to that of pseudo-inverse techniques such as Linear Stochastic Estimation.

description: Purpose: Increasing access to marker-less technology has enabled practitioners to obtain kinematic data more quickly. However, the validation of many of these methods is lacking. Therefore, the validity of pre-trained neural networks was explored in this study compared to reflective marker tracking from sagittal plane cycling motion. Methods: Twenty-six cyclists were assessed during stationary cycling at self-selected cadence and moderate intensity exercise. Standard video from their sagittal plane was obtained to extract joint kinematics. Hip, knee, and ankle angles were calculated from marker digitisation and from two deep learning-based approaches (TransPose and MediaPipe). Results: Typical errors ranged between 1 and 10° for TransPose and 3–9° for MediaPipe. Correlations between joint angles calculated from TransPose and marker digitalization were stronger (0.47–0.98) than those from MediaPipe (0.25–0.96). Conclusion: TransPose seemed to perform better than MediaPipe but both methods presented poor performance when tracking the foot and ankle. This seems to be associated with the low frame rate and image resolution when using standard video mode.
Theoretical and Experimental Constraints on Modified Gravity
Creators: name: Mozaffari, Ali
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2013

description: In this thesis, we consider techniques to characterise a Solar System test for modified gravity theories with an inherent preferred acceleration scale (reducing to MOdified Newtonian Dynamics (MOND) in its non-relativistic limit). We further explore the use of measurements from the forthcoming LISA Pathfinder mission to test these theories. Employing gravitational wave techniques such as the expected signal-to-noise ratio as well as considering effects from a variety of instrumental noise models, saddle trajectories and systematics such as self gravity, we show such a test appears very viable. The possibility of constraints in the event of a null result is explored, as well as designing free functions to evade such a test. The symmetries present in such a scheme allowed us to we develop a simple algorithm for scaling tidal stresses in the event of parameters a_0 and k assuming values different to those originally considered (short cutting a lot of computational work). In doing so, we are able to show broadly, that the scaling of parameters (within an order of magnitude) could potentially save or slaughter a dubious result. Similarly constraints from fifth force experiments and bounds on anomalous accelerations on solar system scales could feed into our theories, but these would appear as parameters in the (otherwise unconstrained) free function \mu. We present a similar scaling algorithm to rescale results previously computed from a particular \mu, as well as look at methods to constrain it from data. We also explore the behaviour of previously poorly constrained parameters, such as the MONDian scaling C and its behaviour between models. We also extend our formalism to investigate results from more general free functions, perhaps resulting from scalar tensor or other modified gravity theories.

Statistical Downscaling for Hydrological Applications in the Tropical Andes
Creators: name: Bergin, Emma Jean
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2013

description: The analysis of statistical downscaling methods has become an active area of hydrological research in recent years because of the potential to investigate climate change impacts at the hydrological scale. In particular the applicability of downscaling methods to remote and often data sparse regions provides a significant challenge to hydrology, not least because such remote regions are often perceived to be vulnerable to the impacts of climate change. The research has considered the potential of using remote sensing, reanalysis and other rainfall and climate data products to overcome some of the issues of data scarcity and quality before evaluating the climate teleconnections within the tropical Andes of South America. The main conclusions of the research are that remote sensing products may provide a useful addition to rainfall runoff modelling studies, but are not applicable to downscaling studies because of their short duration. The TRMM 3B42 product was found to provide a better representation of river runoff than the PERSIANN product when routed through a calibrated hydrological model, suggesting that this product in particular may be useful in sparsely gauge regions. The main conclusions of the statistical downscaling were that the GlimClim downscaling model may be applied to a remote region, but that some of the model assumptions mean that it is often difficult to achieve a good model fit. Additional conclusions relate to the propogation of uncertainty through the modelling chain with respect to the simulation of the future A1B climate scenario. 10 GCMs were used to evaluate the climate uncertainty, with the envelope of simulations showing an increase for future time slices (2020’s, 2050’s and 2080’s) compared with the current 20C3M emissions scenario. However, all GCMs showed that there is a projected decrease in rainfall and runoff.
Conifold Transitions and Mirror Symmetries

Year: 1995
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Theory (hep-th)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Recent work initiated by Strominger has lead to a consistent physical interpretation of certain types of transitions between different string vacua. These transitions, discovered several years ago, involve singular conifold configurations which connect distinct Calabi-Yau manifolds. In this paper we discuss a number of aspects of conifold transitions pertinent to both worldsheet and spacetime mirror symmetry. It is shown that the mirror transform based on fractional transformations allows an extension of the mirror map to conifold boundary points of the moduli space of weighted Calabi-Yau manifolds. The conifold points encountered in the mirror context are not amenable to an analysis via the original splitting constructions. We describe the first examples of such nonsplitting conifold transitions, which turn out to connect the known web of Calabi-Yau spaces to new regions of the collective moduli space. We then generalize the splitting conifold transition to weighted manifolds and describe a class of connections between the webs of ordinary and weighted projective Calabi-Yau spaces. Combining these two constructions we find evidence for a dual analog of conifold transitions in heterotic N$=$2 compactifications on K3$\times $T$^2$ and in particular describe the first conifold transition of a Calabi-Yau manifold whose heterotic dual has been identified by Kachru and Vafa. We furthermore present a special type of conifold transition which, when applied to certain classes of Calabi-Yau K3 fibrations, preserves the fiber structure.

Numerical general relativity in exotic settings
Creators: name: Adam, Alexander
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2013

description: In this thesis, we discuss applications of numerical relativity in a variety of complex settings. After introducing aspects of black hole physics, extra dimensions, holography, and Einstein-Aether theory we discuss how one can frame the problem of solving the static Einstein equations as an elliptic boundary value problem by inclusion of a DeTurck gauge fixing term. Having setup this background, we turn to our simplest application of numerical relativity, namely fractionalisation in holographic condensed matter. We explain how one may describe this phenomenon by studying particular classes of hairy black holes and analysing whether bulk flux is sourced by a horizon or charged matter. This problem is our simplest application of numerical relativity as the Einstein equations reduce to ODEs and the problem may be solved by shooting methods. We next turn to a discussion of stationary numerical relativity and explain how one can also view the problem of finding stationary black hole solutions as an elliptic problem, generalising the static results discussed earlier. Ergoregions and horizons are naively a threat to ellipticity, but by considering a class of spacetimes describing a fibration of the stationary and axial Killing directions over a Riemannian base space manifold, we show how the problem can nevertheless still be phrased in this manner. Finally we close with a discussion of black holes in Einstein-Aether theory. These unusual objects have multiple horizons as a consequence of broken Lorentz symmetry, and in order to construct such solutions we explain how to generalise the PDE methods of previous sections to construct solutions interior to a metric horizon where the Harmonic Einstein equations cease to be elliptic. Using this new machinery we rediscover the spherically symmetric static black holes that have been found in the literature and moreover present the first known rotating solutions of the theory.

description: Recent experiments have demonstrated the generation of widely-spaced parametric sidebands that can evolve into "clustered" optical frequency combs in Kerr microresonators. Here we describe the physics that underpins the formation of such clustered comb states. In particular, we show that the phase-matching required for the initial sideband generation is such that (at least) one of the sidebands experiences anomalous dispersion, enabling that sideband to drive frequency comb formation via degenerate and non-degenerate four-wave mixing. We validate our proposal through a combination of experimental observations made in a magnesium-fluoride microresonator and corresponding numerical simulations. We also investigate the coherence properties of the resulting clustered frequency combs. Our findings provide valuable insights on the generation and dynamics of widely-spaced parametric sidebands and clustered frequency combs in Kerr microresonators.

description: Ground and in flight calibrations of the MECS experiment on board Beppo-SAX have demonstrated that this is currently the best X-ray imaging experiment above 3 keV. The MECS on-axis PSF has a half power radius of about 1 arcmin. Moreover due to a fortunate combination of detector and mirror PSFs the total PSF depends only weakly on the energy. Finally the degradation of the PSF with off axis angle is negligible within an off-axis angle of 10 arcminutes. Encouraged by these results we developed techniques to analyze galaxy clusters observed with Beppo-SAX. In this proceeding we quantify spectral distortions introduced by the energy dependent PSF when performing spatially resolved spectroscopy of the core of the Virgo cluster.

description: We propose and analyze quantum state estimation (tomography) using continuous quantum measurements with resource limitations, allowing the global state of many qubits to be constructed from only measuring a few. We give a proof-of-principle investigation demonstrating successful tomographic reconstruction of an arbitrary initial quantum state for three different situations: single qubit, remote qubit, and two interacting qubits. The tomographic reconstruction utilizes only a continuous weak probe of a single qubit observable, a fixed coupling Hamiltonian, together with single-qubit controls. In the single qubit case, a combination of the continuous measurement of an observable and a Rabi oscillation is sufficient to find all three unknown qubit state components. For two interacting qubits, where only one observable of the first qubit is measured, the control Hamiltonian can be implemented to transfer all quantum information to the measured observable, via the qubit-qubit interaction and Rabi oscillation controls applied locally on each qubit. We discuss different sets of controls by analyzing the unitary dynamics and the Fisher information matrix of the estimation in the limit of weak measurement, and simulate tomographic results numerically. As a result, we obtained reconstructed state fidelities in excess of 0.98 with a few thousand measurement runs.

Mechanisms underlying the resolution of HDM induced allergic airways disease
Creators: name: Mathie, Sara A
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2013

description: Allergic asthma is a chronic inflammatory disease of the lung and deficiencies in pro-resolving mechanisms may contribute to the persistence of inflammation. The overall aim of this project was to establish a resolution model of house dust mite (HDM) induced allergic airway disease (AAD) and identify mediators of resolution. In our model, features of disease, induced by HDM at peak disease 4 hours, airway hyper-reactivity (AHR), Th2 lymphocytes and eosinophils remained significantly elevated 7 days after last challenge, resolving to baseline by 13 days. The levels of FoxP3+ regulatory lymphocytes also follow this pattern. However, as disease waned there was an elevation in the levels of alveolar macrophages and up regulation of the homeostatic molecule CD200R up to 13 days. Exposure to a single i.n administration of HDM in the resolved airways resulted in a rapid increase in Th2 inflammation and AHR suggesting that after resolution of HDM inflammation there is altered immune homeostasis in the lung. The pro-resolving lipid Lipoxin A4 was induced in the lung by HDM exposure and remained detectable during resolution. Depletion of alveolar macrophages during the resolution phase of allergen challenge resulted in delayed clearance of Th2 lymphocytes, airway neutrophils and interstitial macrophages. Conversely, adoptive transfer of alveolar macrophages during resolution resulted in reduced numbers of lung tissue leukocytes, specifically neutrophils and interstitial macrophages. This suggests a cross talk between these macrophage subsets and a novel interaction for pulmonary homeostasis. The anti-inflammatory peptide Annexin A1 is highly expressed by alveolar macrophages and mice deficient in Annexin A1 had enhanced AHR and Th2 immunity response to HDM. Blocking the Annexin A1 receptor FPR2 enhanced AHR and lung inflammation. Conversely, therapeutic administration of an Annexin A1 mimetic improved AHR and Th2 immunity. These studies demonstrate that Annexin A1: FPR2 pathway may be important in HDM disease and that resolution of allergic airways disease is an active process resulting in altered homeostasis of the lung.

Specifically, we use type-I collinear phase matching at non-degenerate wavelengths in parallel \b{eta}-Barium Borate (BBO) crystals to generate pairs of polarization entangled photons for free-space quantum key distribution (QKD). We first review the entangled source configuration and then discuss ways to further improve the source brightness by means of tailoring the pump and collection modes. We present preliminary results that may lead to brighter entangled photon sources that are intrinsically robust to changes in their environment.

description: We have used archive HST WFPC2 data for three elliptical galaxies (NGC 3379 in the Leo I group, and NGC 4472 and NGC 4406 in the Virgo cluster) to determine their distances using the Surface Brightness Fluctuation (SBF) method as described by Tonry and Schneider (1988). A comparison of the HST results with the SBF distance moduli of Ciardullo et al (1993) shows significant disagreement and suggests that the r.m.s. error on these ground-based distance moduli is actually as large as +-0.25 mag. The agreement is only slightly improved when we compare our results with the HST and ground-based SBF distances from Ajhar et al (1997) and Tonry et al (1997); the comparison suggests that a lower limit on the error of the HST SBF distance moduli is +-0.17 mag. Overall, these results suggest that previously quoted measurement errors may underestimate the true error in SBF distance moduli by at least a factor of 2-3.

Diversification of carnivorous marine snails (Muricidae: Rapaninae and Ergalataxinae): phylogeny, biogeography and dietary specialization
Creators: name: Claremont, Martine
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2011

description: Diversification in the marine realm is driven by poorly understood processes including vicariance, dispersal and ecological specialization. To test the role of these processes, I construct the first comprehensive molecular phylogenies of the Rapaninae and Ergalataxinae, two cosmopolitan, ecologically important but taxonomically complex subfamilies of carnivorous neogastropods (four genes: 12S rRNA, 28S rRNA, 16S rRNA, cytochrome c oxidase I). I sampled more than 50% of the described species in both subfamilies: 66 species and 19 genera of Ergalataxinae, 82 species and 26 genera of Rapaninae, and used fossils to calibrate the phylogenies. Unlike previously studied gastropod groups, the rapanine genus Stramonita has long lived pelagic larvae with a potentially trans-oceanic scale of dispersal, raising the question of how allopatric speciation has proceeded. To delimit species, I use statistical methods of phylogenetic tree analysis and show that the S. haemastoma species complex diversified in response to barriers operating at both large and small geographic scales; habitat specialization may also have played a role in this radiation. Dietary specialization has also been implicated in marine radiations. The ergalataxine genus Drupella was previously thought to consist of five species of obligate corallivores. I show that this monophyletic genus includes the facultative coral-feeder ‘Ergalatax margariticola’, which is itself composed of two cryptic species. Genetic structure within this species complex does not relate to feeding mode, but instead seems to correspond to broad patterns of habitat ecology found in other gastropod taxa. Drupella diversified following the major expansion of coral reefs in the early Miocene. If dietary specialization has permitted sympatric speciation, it is predicted that sympatric sister species should be specialized on different food resources. I test this prediction in the rapanine genus Drupa. Contrary to expectation, the sympatric sister species D. ricinus and D. arachnoides have similarly generalist diets.

A flexible access platform for robot-assisted minimally invasive surgery
Creators: name: Noonan, David
Publisher: name: Imperial College London

description: Advances in Minimally Invasive Surgery (MIS) are driven by the clinical demand to reduce the invasiveness of surgical procedures so patients undergo less trauma and experience faster recoveries. These well documented benefits of MIS have been achieved through parallel advances in the technology and instrumentation used during procedures. The new and evolving field of Flexible Access Surgery (FAS), where surgeons access the operative site through a single incision or a natural orifice incision, is being promoted as the next potential step in the evolution of surgery. In order to achieve similar levels of success and adoption as MIS, technology again has its role to play in developing new instruments to solve the unmet clinical challenges of FAS. As procedures become less invasive, these instruments should not just address the challenges presented by the complex access routes of FAS, but should also build on the recent advances in pre- and intraoperative imaging techniques to provide surgeons with new diagnostic and interventional decision making capabilities. The main focus of this thesis is the development and applications of a flexible robotic device that is capable of providing controlled flexibility along curved pathways inside the body. The principal component of the device is its modular mechatronic joint design which utilises an embedded micromotor-tendon actuation scheme to provide independently addressable degrees of freedom and three internal working channels. Connecting multiple modules together allows a seven degree-of-freedom (DoF) flexible access platform to be constructed. The platform is intended for use as a research test-bed to explore engineering and surgical challenges of FAS. Navigation of the platform is realised using a handheld controller optimised for functionality and ergonomics, or in a "hands-free" manner via a gaze contingent control framework. Under this framework, the operator's gaze fixation point is used as feedback to close the servo control loop. The feasibility and potential of integrating multi-spectral imaging capabilities into flexible robotic devices is also demonstrated. A force adaptive servoing mechanism is developed to simplify the deployment, and improve the consistency of probe-based optical imaging techniques by automatically controlling the contact force between the probe tip and target tissue. The thesis concludes with the description of two FAS case studies performed with the platform during in-vivo porcine experiments. These studies demonstrate the ability of the platform to perform large area explorations within the peritoneal cavity and to provide a stable base for the deployment of interventional instruments and imaging probes.

description: Expliciter l’expérience sensible semble a priori orienter le travail de description vers des sphères éloignées de l’action, voire de l’agentivité. Entendre, voir, sentir… c’est en effet faire l’expérience selon un mode passif de phénomènes qui se donnent à vivre, sans intervention active du sujet. Cependant, en s’approchant des phénomènes vécus, il est possible d’accéder aux processus qui participent d’une alternance entre l’absorption dans des contenus sensibles et d’autres processus qui relèvent d’une déprise. En mobilisant l’explicitation selon l’approche fondée par Pierre Vermersch lors de séminaires de recherche organisés à l’École nationale supérieure de Paris entre 2016 et 2018, il a été possible de décrire les processus qui participent d’une réduction ou d’une restauration de l’agentivité au contact du vécu sensible.

description: Vela X is a pulsar wind nebula in which two relativistic particle populations with distinct spatial and spectral distributions dominate the emission at different wavelengths. An extended $2^\circ \times 3^\circ$ nebula is seen in radio and GeV gamma rays. An elongated cocoon prevails in X-rays and TeV gamma rays. We use 9.5 years of data from the Fermi Large Area Telescope (LAT) to disentangle gamma-ray emission from the two components in the energy range from 10 GeV to 2 TeV, bridging the gap between previous measurements at GeV and TeV energies. We determine the morphology of emission associated to Vela X separately at energies < 100 GeV and > 100 GeV, and compare it to the morphology seen at other wavelengths. Then, we derive the spectral energy distribution of the two gamma-ray components over the full energy range. The best fit to the LAT data is provided by the combination of the two components derived at energies < 100 GeV and > 100 GeV. The first component has a soft spectrum, spectral index $2.19\pm0.16^{+0.05}_{-0.22}$, and extends over a region of radius $1.36^\circ\pm0.04^\circ$, consistent with the radio nebula. The second component has a harder spectrum, spectral index $0.9\pm0.3^{+0.3}_{-0.1}$, and is concentrated over an area of radius $0.63^\circ\pm0.03^\circ$, coincident with the X-ray cocoon that had already been established to account for the bulk of the emission at TeV energies. The spectrum measured for the low-energy component corroborates previous evidence for a roll-over of the electron spectrum at energies of a few tens of GeV possibly due to diffusive escape. The high-energy component has a very hard spectrum: if the emission is produced by electrons with a power-law spectrum the electrons must be uncooled, and there is a hint that their spectrum may be harder than predictions by standard models of Fermi acceleration at relativistic shocks.

Sample variance of the cosmic velocity field

description: Since the cosmic peculiar velocity field depends on small wave-number modes strongly, we cannot probe its universal properties unless we observe a sufficiently large region. We calculate the expected deviation (sample variance) of the peculiar velocity dispersion from its universal value in the case observed volume is finite. Using linear theory we show that the sample variance remains as large as $\sim 10%$, even if the observed region is as deep as $100h^{-1}Mpc$ and that it seriously affects the estimation of cosmological parameters from the peculiar velocity field.

Towards the design and synthesis of small molecule antagonists of nuclear receptor liver receptor homologue-1
Creators: name: Rey, Jullien
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2011

description: Nuclear receptors (NRs) are a large family of mammalian transcription factors that have the particularity of binding directly to DNA and regulating the expression of adjacent genes. Liver receptor homologue-1 (LRH-1) is a NR from the subfamily 5 (steroidogenic factor-like) and plays a prominent role in development, reverse cholesterol transport, bile-acid homeostasis and steroidogenesis, as well as being implicated in the control of aromatase expression. In addition, Ali et al. showed that LRH-1 acts as a key regulator of the estrogen response in breast cancer cells through the regulation of estrogen receptor-α (ERα) expression. As a crystal structure of LRH-1 was available, the design of new potential LRH-1 antagonists was based on a computer-aided drug design (CADD) approach. It was believed that virtual agonist and antagonist analogues would bind at the same site within the core of the ligand-binding domain (LBD) but demonstrate different binding modes. Binding of an antagonist would induce a conformational change within the LBD of LRH-1, involving a rotation of helix 12 (H12) by direct steric clashes between this helix and the ligand and as a consequence, prevent co-activator recruitment. The LRH-1 LBD was identified as mainly hydrophobic and as one of the largest in the NR family. Three series of analogues have been designed. Steroid-based compounds bearing a challenging C-2 ether linkage were initially synthesized followed by analogues structurally related to anti-estrogen agents tamoxifen and raloxifene (Scheme 0).
