Overview
abstract
-
A compound of potential interest to the agricultural industry has been isolated by PhytoMyco Research Corporation; a collaboration between PhytoMyco and ECU has been established to further investigate this finding. Specifically, derivatives of this compound will be prepared and evaluated for their biological activity. Brian Love will design synthetic approaches to these derivatives and supervise a postdoctoral researcher who will carry out the chemical reactions required for their preparation. Biological evaluation of the compounds will be supervised by Ven Subbiah. Synthetic reactions and identification of the products (the vast majority of the project) will be carried out at ECU. Evaluations of the compounds prepared that require equipment not available in the Chemistry Department will be carried out at PhytoMyco.
