Funded Activity Summary

Total Synthesis and Biological Evaluation of Australian Sponge Metabolites. The development of functional syntheses of Australian natural products and certain analogues of ecological and therapeutic significance will emerge. Such activities will lead to the identification and evaluation of molecular entities of value in managing marine environments, reduce the need for removal of organisms from marine environments both within and outside of Australia as well as helping maintain and enhance chemical synthesis capacity within the country. The proposed studies could lead to the identification of related natural products produced by organisms on the Great Barrier Reef and that may display even more potent activities and/or complementary ecological roles.
