I have confidence that the interactions and deliberations at this Forum with scientists from different countries would result in gaining broader insights and resolutions that would enhance sharing and facilitation of scientific knowledge and would benefit everyone in the respective scientific fields. Our society is now in the process of accelerating its progression. In order to understand the real needs and to offer solutions to the societal demands, scientific and professional communities must work closer with their clientele as well as among themselves, and adopt an integrated perspective. This is what is happening at the Forum and what my government aspires to address the real needs of our society, to reach accelerated development in the future.

KCP exhibits potent Revised 8 June 2016 and selective binding affinity for one of the ionotropic glutamate receptor subtypes, NMDA receptors Accepted 9 June 2016 (K = 7.8 nM). In this study, new structure–activity relationship studies at C9 of KCP were implemented. Available online 11 June 2016 i Eleven new KCP analogs with different substituents at C9 were prepared and employed for binding affin- ity tests using native ionotropic glutamate receptors. Replacement of the 3,5-dichloro-4-hydroxybenzoyl Keywords: group of KCP with a 3-phenylpropionyl group resulted in significant loss of binding affinity for NMDARs Ionotropic glutamate receptors (K = 1300 nM), indicating an indispensable role of the aromatic ring of KCP in the potent and selective Kaitocephalin i Natural product binding to NMDARs.

    Presskitsanath 2

    Press Kit EKAMATH EKA RATEKA A faceless fantasy dipped in scheming life journeying across endless time in search of a silver screen to unfold the story of one woman and two men. Based on Emile Zola’s short story Pour une nuit d’amour (For A Night Of Love) tucked away somewhere, sometime with an undefined destiny. An extra-ordinary take ; of an ordinary life ! A film by Sanath Gunatilake Produced by Janaka Ramanayake 1 EKAMATH EKA RATEKA Synopsis : The film EKAMATH EKA RATEKA ( Once Upon a Time) is based on the story Pour une nuit d’amour written by the French novelist Emile Zola (1840-1904). The young ravishing girl from an elite family whose strong character and headstrong behaviour make her parents unhappy. They send her abroad to complete her studies hoping that it would change their daughter’s strange behaviour for the better. The young girl and the nanny’s son who becomes a lawyer later on with the help of the noble family, build a strong friendship from childhood. The parents are trying to find a suitable partner to their young daughter who has come back after completing her studies. The young girl and nanny’s son are falling in love. The nanny‘s encouragement and the blessings strengthen the young couple’s love. Meanwhile the young girl falls in love with the music played by a hideous looking middle aged man who lives in the neighborhood. Her passion for the music leads her to a magnificently melodramatic climax as this man imagines that this young girl loves him and his entire existence builds around the young girl’s love.
