Funded Activity Summary

Synthetic, Molecular and Biological Studies on Novel Marine Metabolites Isolated from Great Barrier Reef Sponges. Whilst structurally remarkable marine natural products, generated via unprecedented biosynthetic pathways, continue to be isolated from organisms found on the Barrier Reef these substances remain largely unexploited in terms of both their potent biological and ecological properties. Efficient syntheses of two classes of marine metabolites will be undertaken to allow biological, biosynthetic and ecological evaluation of advanced intermediates and final products. Such evaluations will provide new insights into the therapeutic and ecological potential as well as the origins of these natural products. New agents for the management of marine ecosystems and the treatment of oncological and other diseases should emerge.
