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.
