2. 1. Macrocyclic polypeptides from plants

   Author : Ulf Göransson; David Craik; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Pharmaceutical chemistry; Farmaceutisk kemi; Pharmaceutical chemistry; Farmaceutisk kemi; Pharmacognosy; Farmakognosi;

   Abstract : The aim of this work was to explore the structural and functional diversity of polypeptides that are found in plants. Expanding knowledge of simililarities between plant use of these compound and animal use promises exceptional opportunities for finding, from plant research, new structures with biomedical and biotechnological potential.

7. 5. Natural Products from Cameroonian Medicinal Plants

   Author : Apollinaire Tsopmo; Centrum för analys och syntes; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Växtbiokemi; Plant biochemistry; antiplasmodial.; antitrypanosomal; diarylheptanoids; terpenoids; flavonoids; aframodial; Aframomum; Reneilmia cincinnata; Dorstenia; Euphorbia; Lepidobotrys staudtii; Pentadiplandra brazzeanea; Vernonia guineensis; Natural products; Myrica arborea;

   Abstract : Natural product chemistry is a main research area in Cameroon, as well as for the division of Bioorganic Chemistry at Lund Institute of Technology. A review of the results obtained recently with Cameroonian medicinal plants shows that a large number of compounds, many with complex structures, have been isolated and characterised, and the work presented in this thesis is part of this effort.
