TRUE 22nd ISOPRENOIDS

International Conference on Isoprenoids.

22nd Conference on Isoprenoids

Prague, Czech Republic, September 7—10, 2014

Main themes of the Conference:

 

ISOPRENOIDS: CHEMISTRY—BIOLOGY—APPLICATION

 

the Isoprenoids wish not to compete with the main conferences on related topic as e.g. Chicago Congress on Steroid Research or TERPNET Meeting. However, the conference aims to be a melting pot of chemistry, biology, and technology (application) of isoprenoids in broad sense.

Could anyone wish to see the profiles of the last two Isoprenoid Conference have look at: 20th Isoprenoids, 21st Isoprenoids.

 

So, the Conference will aim on:

 

A) STEROIDS

a/ Synthesis biosynthesis and metabolism of steroids,

b/ Steroids in supramolecular and bio-supramolecular chemistry,

c/ Forensic aspects of steroid chemistry and biology,

d/ Ecdysteroids and brassinosteroids in medicine, food, and agriculture, biology and chemistry of side-chain oxidized  cholesterol analogues,

e/ Click chemistry to studies of sterol biology,

f/ Steroids as hormonally and non-hormonally active compounds (neurosteroids, vitamin D, saponins, witha-, bufa-, karde- nolides, ...)

 

B) TERPENES

a/ Synthesis, biosynthesis and metabolism of terpenes and terpenoids,

b/ Terpenes as pheromones, kairomones, etc.

c/ New aspects of terpenoids biological activity

d/ Bio-conjugates and supramolecular assemblies, medicinal chemistry imaging,

 

C) GENERAL ISOPRENOIDS

a/ New naturally occurring isoprenoids and related compounds, their structural elucidation,

b/ Isoprenoids in immunochemistry and immunoanalysis,

c/ Physiological, ecological and environmental aspects of isoprenoids, chemical ecology, phytochemistry,

d/ Interaction of isoprenoids with receptors,

e/ Biosynthesis and metabolism of ispoprenoids, endocrinological aspects, structure-activity relationships, bio-signalling and mechanism,

f/ Phytoestrogenes,

g/ Isoprenoids in food, food and flavour additives, fragrances etc.

h/ Practical application and utilisation of isoprenoids.

 

D) MISCELLANEA

a/ Natural products related to isoprenoids,

b/ Any other interesting theme.
