Third U.S.-Pakistan Binational Workshop on Advances in Natural Products Chemistry, Karachi, Pakistan, January 1988

目标和相关性：这一行动为美国科学家参加第三届美国-巴基斯坦天然产品化学进展双国研讨会提供了支持。研讨会的巴基斯坦组织者是卡拉奇大学Hej化学研究所的联席主任Atta-Ur-Rahman博士。这次会议将在1984年和1986年举行的前几次讲习班成果的基础上举行，包括两国科学家之间的重大互动，以及国际出版的会议记录。将讨论的具体议题包括来自巴基斯坦天然来源和传统药物制剂的生理活性化合物，分离和分离次生代谢物的新方法及其在巴基斯坦植物中的天然功能作用，结构测定方法的进展，以及从巴基斯坦天然产品中合成新的药剂。美国-巴基斯坦项目支持两国科学家在两国都有活跃研究的领域以及何时可以加强合作的领域举行研讨会。该项目符合这些标准。优点：美国私家侦探在他的领域内是一位备受尊敬的科学家，而研讨会的巴基斯坦组织者因其广泛的研究成就而在国际上闻名并受到尊重。这次会议可能会聚集巴基斯坦天然产物化学领域最优秀的科学家、来自美国的许多活跃科学家以及来自欧洲的一些专家。预期会议记录将在全世界出版，并有助于传播这一领域的新知识。资金：除这一行动外，讲习班预计还将得到巴基斯坦政府和德意志联邦共和国政府的财政支助。

Objectives and Relevancy: This action provides support for participation of U.S. scientists in the third U.S.-Pakistan Binational Workshop on Advances in Natural Products Chemistry. The Pakistani organizer of the workshop is Dr. Atta-Ur-Rahman, codirector of the HEJ Postgraduate Institute of Chemistry at the University of Karachi. The meeting will build on the accomplishments of the previous workshops held in 1984 and 1986, including the significant interaction between scientists of the two countries, and the internationally published proceedings. Specific topics to be discussed include physiologically active compounds from Pakistani natural sources and traditional medicinal preparations, new methods of isolation and separation of secondary metabolites and their natural functional role in pakistani plants, advances in the methodology of structure determination, and synthons for new medicinal agents from Pakistani natural products. The U.S.-Pakistan program supports workshops between scientists of the two countries in areas where there is active research in both countries and when collaboration can be enhanced. The project meets these criteria. Merit: The U.S. P.I. is a well regarded scientist in his field, and the Pakistani organizer of the workshop is internationally known and respected for his extensive research accomplishments. The meeting is likely to bring together the best of Pakistan's scientists in natural product chemistry and many active scientists from the U.S., as well as some experts from Europe. It is expected that the proceedings will be published worldwide and contribute to the dissemination of new knowledge in this field. Funding: In addition to this action, the workshop is expected to receive financial support from the Governments of Pakistan and of the Federal Republic of Germany.
