Project description

This project aims at exploring branched-chain sugars (apiose, hamamelose) as building blocks for the synthesis of compound (libraries) with therapeutic potential, more precisely

- potentiators of antibiotics

- nucleosides with antiviral activity

- scaffolds for protein-protein dysruptors
