| Outline and Purpose of the Course |
Plants are equipped with self-defense technology that protects themselves from various foreign enemies in the natural world, which is largely due to the secondary metabolites (plant extractives) produced by plant cells. In this lecture, the recent research papers reported so far on the structure, biosynthetic pathway and bioactivities of the extracted components will be introduced and explain the functionality and utilization research of the plant extractives. |
|||
| Course Goals | Understand deeply understanding methods of isolation and analysis of natural organic compounds, including principles. In addition, it is possible to obtain knowledge about their structures, biosynthetic pathways, and physiological functions such as pharmacological activities, and to learn the basics and applications related to natural product chemistry. | |||
| Schedule and Contents |
1. History and future of natural product chemistry 2. Biosynthesis of natural products (terpenes, alkaloids, aromatic compounds) 3. Biosynthesis of natural products (flavonoids, tannins) 4. Explanation of drug discovery and pharmaceutical chemistry by natural products 1 5. Explanation of drug discovery and pharmaceutical chemistry by natural products 2 6. Chemistry and function of fragrance 7. Physiological function of wood aroma component (obesity suppression, stress relief) 8. Physiological function of wood aroma component (memory, learning) |
