【报告内容简介】
The molecular complexity and structural diversity of natural products is immense of an inspiration for organic and medicinal chemists to design small molecules. The inability of total synthesis to provide adequate numbers of complex natural product derivatives for screening purposes calls to developed viable alternative strategies affording biologically interesting small molecules. Nature has more to offer to help chemists design synthetic strategies to expand the biologically intriguing chemical space. In this talk, our efforts to use clues from nature´s synthesis designs as well molecular architectures of natural small molecules for building screening collections will be presented. In this regard, development of different synthetic strategies including cascade reactions, annulation and cycloaddition reactions or modification of natural products etc. shall be presented. The role of new complex small molecules in unravelling new biological functions will also be briefly discussed.
