Total Synthesis of Myxobacteria Metabolites and Analogues

本项目将研究复杂粘细菌代谢物的全化学合成。此外，还将研究其中一些天然产物的新类似物的合成。该项目致力于开发新的化学合成方法，并生产新的治疗产品，这些产品可能比天然化合物具有更高的疗效和更好的生物活性。最重要的是，该项目将提供用于抗癌活性分析的天然化合物和新化合物。开发新的合成方法对社区和我们的科学家的教育都是巨大的回报。

This project will investigate the total chemical synthesis of complex myxobacteria metabolites. In addition, the synthesis of new analogues of some of these natural products will also be investigated. The project endeavours to develop new methods for chemical synthesis and also to produce new therapeutic products which may possess greater efficacy and superior biological activities than the natural compounds. Most significantly, this project will deliver natural and new compounds for analysis of anti-cancer activity. The rewards of the development of new synthetic methods are enormous for the community and in the education of our scientists.
