To identify avenues for advancing training and research in Medicinal Chemistry in developing countries.
A first report entitled 'Research and Training in Medicial Chemistryin South and Central America and Sub-Saharan Africa' has been preparedand published in Chem.Int.21(3), 65-69 (1999). [also published in Cam. J. Biol. Bioch.Sc. (1996) VI(1), 3-10.]
This project continues with investigation in India andChina.
The IUPAC's efforts to develop an awareness of the stateof medicinal chemistry in different geographic areas of the world anda proposal to achieve more effective international cooperation havebeen reviewed in an article entitled 'MedicinalChemistry in the Development of Societies, Biodiversity, and NaturalProducts', published in Chem. Int. 23(2), 39-42 (2001).
