Contents Introduction : biofunctional molecules and organic synthesis -- Synthesis of phytohormones, phytoalexins, and other biofunctional molecules of plant origin -- Synthesis of insect bioregulators other than pheromones -- Synthesis of pheromones -- Synthesis of biofunctional molecules of microbial origin -- Synthesis of marine bioregulators, medicinals and related compounds -- Synthetic examination of incorrectly proposed structures of biomolecules -- Conclusion : science as a human endeavor
Summary Many small molecules occur naturally as "messenger" chemicals which regulate the behaviour and functions of microbes, plants, insects and animals. Examples include hormones, pheromones, phytoalexins, and antifeedants. These biofunctional molecules are of great interest to researchers in helping develop our understanding of biological function and in the development of new drugs. However extracting them from nature can be prohibitively expensive, so there is great interest in devising methods of synthesising them from simple starting materials in the laboratory.
