Chimica delle sostanze organiche naturali
(objectives)
The course introduces the concepts and experimental approaches of natural substances (secondary metabolites) present in the plant world starting from their biogenetic precursors. For each family of compounds, the structural aspects, the property, the functional role, the biological activities, the applications in the agronomic, food, cosmetic, pharmaceutical and nutraceutical fields, the techniques of extraction, purification and structural characterization are studied.

(syllabus)
The different families of natural substances are studied on the basis of the precursors and the main metabolic sequences that lead to their biosynthesis. For each family, structural aspects, properties, biological activities and applications in the agronomic, food, cosmetic, pharmaceutical and nutraceutical fields are examined. Among the various classes of compounds, phenolic substances are deepened and among the activities, the antioxidant property. The course includes educational visits and laboratory exercises.
