Funded Activity Summary

New Protocols for the Chemical Synthesis of Biologically Relevant Systems. Enzyme- and metal-catalysed processes will be developed and exploited for the purpose of establishing concise syntheses of biologically active and otherwise inaccessible natural products and their analogues. The range of structures to be targeted is structurally diverse and these have the potential to act as agrochemicals and/or as therapeutic agents for the treatment of a range of disease states in mammals including bacterial and viral infections, neuro-degenerative conditions and impaired cognitive function. Anti-angiogenic compounds that control otherwise unregulated cellular growth may also arise from these studies. The generation of new, homochiral metabolites for use in chemoenzymatic synthesis should also emerge from this project.
