Research Interests

Dr. Hoffman has ongoing research interests in synthesizing ATP antagonists. These ANAPP3 derivatives are synthesized by using different amino acids (glycine, alanines, and aminobutric acids) to link an arylazido group to ATP molecules. The research has expanded to synthesize other ATP type antagonists, that target a specific P2 receptor site.
