Description: This project supports the participation by ten U.S. scientists in a Symposium on the Chemistry of Natural Products, scheduled to be held January 4-8, 1996 in Karachi, Pakistan. The Pakistani organizer is Dr. Atta-ur-Rahman, Director of the H.E.J. Research Institute of Chemistry at the University of Karachi. The symposium, and a US-Pakistan Workshop that will follow, will deal with frontier areas of natural product chemistry. The program will consist of plenary lectures, session lectures and poster presentations. The topics will include: physiologically active compounds from Pakistani natural sources and traditional (Unani) medicinal preparations; marine natural products; new methods of isolation and separation of secondary metabolites; new approaches to detection of bioactivity in naturally-derived extracts; advances in the methodology of structure determination; the potential of Pakistani natural products as synthons for new medicinal agents; and the role of biotechnology in Pakistan's science and technology. Scope: This project links some of the most active US researchers, in natural product chemistry, with one of the best institutes in the developing countries in the field. The H.E.J. Research Institute of Chemistry has organized several past symposia on natural product chemistry, with participation by eminent scientists from around the world, and with high quality publications resulting from these meetings. The US delegation is to include at least four scientists with recent doctorate degrees, and two female scientists. The project will be beneficial to U.S. and to Pakistan scientists and also to participants from countries in South Asia and the Middle East which are usually represented. The project will help many of the scientists in these countries to establish contacts with scientists from the U.S. for future collaboration.

描述：该项目支持10名美国科学家参加定于1996年1月4日至8日在巴基斯坦卡拉奇举行的天然产品化学研讨会。巴基斯坦的组织者是卡拉奇大学H.E.J.化学研究所所长阿塔-乌尔-拉赫曼博士。研讨会和随后的美国-巴基斯坦研讨会将讨论天然产品化学的前沿领域。该计划将包括全体讲座、分会场讲座和海报演示。专题将包括：来自巴基斯坦天然来源和传统(Unani)药物制剂的生理活性化合物；海洋天然产品；分离和分离次生代谢物的新方法；检测天然提取物生物活性的新方法；结构确定方法的进展；巴基斯坦天然产品作为新医药合成体的潜力；以及生物技术在巴基斯坦科学技术中的作用。范围：该项目将一些在天然产物化学领域最活跃的美国研究人员与该领域发展中国家最好的研究所之一联系起来。H.E.J.化学研究所过去组织了几次关于天然产物化学的研讨会，来自世界各地的知名科学家参加了研讨会，并通过这些会议发表了高质量的出版物。美国代表团将包括至少四名最近获得博士学位的科学家和两名女性科学家。该项目将有利于美国和巴基斯坦的科学家，也有利于来自南亚和中东国家的参与者，这些国家通常有代表。该项目将帮助这些国家的许多科学家与美国科学家建立联系，为未来的合作做准备。
