This is a planning visit award for Dr. Ronald D. McKelvey, of the Department of Chemistry at the University of Wisconsin-La Crosse, to meet with Drs. Mangala D. Manandhar, Mohan B. Gewali, and Sarbajna M. Tuladhar, of the Central Department of Chemistry at the Tribhuvan University in Kathmandu, Nepal, for the purpose of developing a cooperative research activity on the identification of medicinal and pesticidal compounds from four varieties of high-altitude plants (Lobelia pyramidalis, Arisaema totuosum, Lyonia ovalifolia, and Sapium insigne) found in Nepal. Traditionally many Nepalese have used a wide variety of plants for medicinal purposes and natural pest control, but at the present time little is known about the chemical compounds in these plants. The planned activity would identify the plant compounds which might be useful in producing medicines or pesticides from natural products.

这是威斯康星大学拉克罗斯分校化学系的Ronald D. McKelvey博士的计划访问奖。尼泊尔加德满都特里布万大学中央化学系的Mangala D. Manandhar、Mohan B. Gewali和Sarbajna M. Tuladhar，目的是开展一项合作研究活动，从尼泊尔发现的四种高海拔植物（半边莲（Lobelia pyramidalis）、阿里萨马（Arisaema totuosum）、Lyonia ovalifolia和Sapium insigne）中鉴定药用和农药化合物。传统上，许多尼泊尔人将各种各样的植物用于药用和天然害虫防治，但目前对这些植物中的化合物知之甚少。计划中的活动将确定可能用于从天然产物中生产药物或杀虫剂的植物化合物。
