Synthesis of antiviral natural products and derivatives

该项目将开发新型天然产物衍生的抗病毒分子，用于治疗SARS-Cov-2（COVID-19）和甲型流感（季节性流感）等病毒性疾病。这个及时而令人兴奋的项目是诺丁汉大学化学学院、兽医学院和药学院的研究人员之间的合作。该项目将提供多步合成有机化学及其在生物活性分子和/或天然产物合成中的应用的经验。新的分子将由我们的项目合作伙伴进行生物活性测试，并选择领先的化合物进一步开发成一类新的抗病毒药物。

The project will develop novel natural product-derived antiviral molecules to treat viral diseases such as SARS-Cov-2 (COVID-19) and influenza A (Seasonal flu). This timely and exciting project is a collaboration between researchers based in the Schools of Chemistry, Veterinary Medicine & Science and Pharmacy at University of Nottingham.This project will provide experience of multi-step synthetic organic chemistry and its application to the synthesis of biologically active molecules and/or natural products. New molecules will be tested for biological activity by our project partners, and the leading compounds will be selected for further development into a new class antiviral drugs.
