Course description
An object of this course is “study of Natural product”. Biosynthesis pathway is learned in this course. And it is also learned that complex structure compounds are constructed from simple unit by enzyme. Finally “bioactivity is controlled by chemicals” and “how should we control the bioactivity by chemicals” are learned. In this course is not suitable for students having no interest of application.
Expected Learning
“Control of bioactivity by chemicals” is learned. And an innovation mind is educated.
Course schedule
I. Biosynthesis and Natural products
1.biosynthesis of hydrocarbons and sugars
2.fatty acids, polyketides, shikimic acid pathway
3.terpenoids, steroids, alkaloids

II. Natural products and bioactivity
4.bioactivity regulation products of animals
5. bioactivity regulation products of plants and fungi.
6. Natural products and antibiotics
Prerequisites
On the assumption that students have basal organic chemical knowledge, text is expounded.
Finished basic level of reaction mechanism by organic electron theory
Required Text(s) and Materials
Natural Products Chemistry (Takeshi Oishi; Asakura-shoten)
References
Biosynthesis Chemistry (Dainihon-tosho)
Assessment/Grading
Students who scored more than 60poitnts in all get passing grade.
Message from instructor(s)
Natural Product Chemistry is overlapped with medicinal chemistry and physiology. Medicinal field is targeted human science, but Natural Product Chemistry is targeted bioactivity including human. To be a student having an innovative idea for controlling bio-function by chemicals or new material is expected by attending this class. It is not suitable class for students having no interesting practical application technology.
