Course description
How to make medicine mainly on natural products derived from microorganisms, especially antibiotics of the research and development. Many agricultural fields such as applied microbiology, fermentation, natural product chemistry, antibiotics, microbial chemistry etc. occupy an important position for natural drug discovery. I would like to introduce the importance as an integrated field.
Expected Learning
It can be understood as integrated science such as applied microbiology, fermentation, natural product chemistry, microbial genetics etc.
Understanding of the problem drug resistance from the point of view, such as public health and the world economy.
Understand the methodology of natural product discovery and development.
Course schedule
In Japan, there is accumulation of natural product fermentation technology based on brewing, amino acid fermentation. Natural products discovered and developed in Japan have created many medicines used in the world. Natural products occupy an important position as chemotherapy such as infectious diseases and cancer, as medicine for hyperlipidemia and organ transplantation. Regarding antibiotics supporting today's chemotherapy, I will introduce how drug discovery research from microbial hunt to optimization how to create medicine is like. In recent years, the problem of drug resistance has been caught as a major marvel for global public health and the world economy.

As an example of ongoing efforts of natural drug discovery, I will also introduce development research on antibiotics effective for extensively drug-resistant tuberculosis and multi-drug-resistant Gram-negative bacteria.
