My research @ UIowa: Peroxisomicines are complex natural products found within the fruit of Karwinskia humboldtiana. Those compounds are selective to malignant tumor cells and are therefore suitable in particular for the treatment of liver, lung and colon carcinomas. We are performing their total stereoselective synthesis to study their biological activity, toxicity and selectivity.
