Outline of Final Research Achievements

We constructed a library of extracts from coral reef organisms and a small library of marine natural products. They were screened for antiviral assays: HCV NS3 helicase, HCV replicon, and HBV core promoter. Some of hit extracts were separated and isolated compounds were characterized mainly by spectroscopic methods. After identifying hit molecules, we searched similar molecules and prepared derivatives by chemical transformations. The isolated compounds and derivatives were subjected for assays to see structure-activity relationship. We reported some of the results as papers or presentations in scientific meetings, though some of the contents are still under investigation.
