Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In this research, development of novel biologically active compounds based on de novo design of scaffolds, with focusing on the pharmacophores of biologically active natural products, was investigated. Based on the structures of several natural products including curcumin, various modulators for nuclear receptors such as androgen receptor and progesterone receptor were developed. The developed compounds are versatile lead compounds for drug discovery, and the methodology developed here is also a promising approach for structural development.
