| Research Abstract |
Reacenty, many biologically active natural products, which are available to the precise investigation of the biological transmission mechanism in molecular level, have been isolated and characterized. However, it is quite dificult to obtain such kind of compounds from natural sources. For example, it is well-known that some spider toxins inhibit the exitement neuro-transmimmision in brain and are suitable tool to investigate such transmission mechanism. Since the gain of these toxins in pure forms from natural sources is impossible, their ample supplies have been required by their syntheses. Irie and his co-workers (Nagasaki University and Hokkaido University) have accomplished a new method to synthesize these toxins using the azide group in the place of amino group for the construction of the polyamine side chains in toxins. This method makes the supply of the considerably large amount of toxins possible. Tkahashi (Tokyo Institute of Technology) has developed a new method which is available to synthesize some biologically active poly-succaride chains. Fujii (Kyoto University) has synthesized some poly-peptides having an possibility to develop of new drug against AIDS.Uemura (Shizuoka Unversity) investigated the toxic substances produced by a marine shell and elucidated the structure of genuin toxin possessing the possibility to design new drug. And all the members of this project have carried out high-lebel of research works evluated all the world and published large number of the reports on international scientific journals.
