SYNTHESIS AND IN SILICO STUDY OF NEW KETOPROFEN DERIVATIVES

Ketoprofen is a widespread non-steroidal anti-inflammatory agent used in treatment of acute pain and chronic arthritis. On the other hand, isoquinoline alkaloids are very well known with their wide range of biological activities. From this point of view it is of interest to us to obtain new isoquinolines containing a ketoprofen residue in their structure as new substances with potential biological activity. To estimate general efficacy and safety of the newly obtained compounds, their biological potential has been evaluated

Complementary dual codes for counter-measures to side-channel attacks

We recall why linear codes with complementary duals (LCD codes) play a role in counter-measures to passive and active side-channel analyses on embedded cryptosystems. The rate and the minimum distance of such LCD codes must be as large as possible. We investigate primary constructions of such codes, in particular with cyclic codes, specifically with generalized residue codes, and we study their idempotents. We study those secondary constructions which preserve the LCD property, and we characterize conditions under which codes obtained by puncturing, shortening or extending codes, or obtained by the Plotkin sum, can be LCD
